Rhythmic Motor Instructions for the Development of Body Expression in Preschool Children

A Documentary Review Study

Abstract

The following research is carried out due to the difficulties encountered in children at the Preschool, for the development of corporal expression, identifying the influence that rhythmic motor instructions have at this stage of schooling. One of the dominant causes involved is misinformation and lack of knowledge of the subject on the part of parents and teachers for the implementation of games and rhythmic activities as an effective strategy. In this sense, the objective was established to present the theoretical contributions on the importance of rhythmic motor instructions for the development of body expression by searching reliable bibliographic sources, such as articles from magazines indexed in different databases such as: Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, Latindex, Dialnet, among others. The results obtained reflect that the execution of rhythmic motor instructions through a playful approach plays a fundamental role in the development of infants' corporal expression, and that the ideal is for appropriate methodological strategies to be proposed for their correct execution. It is concluded that music in the first years of an children's life gives joy, stimulates and allows the development of brain plasticity, which leads to enhancing cognitive, physical, social and emotional development.
