GONGE-katalog-2022

PHYSICAL
SOCIAL
GONGE® products can be used for anything
from free play to specific therapy and
structured training. Children will develop
physical strength and motor skills –
including weight transfer, familiarity with
heights, physical coordination and agility
– as well as sensorimotor abilities, such as
awareness of posture, sense of touch and
balance.
GONGE® encourages children to engage
in games that combine physical and social
abilities. Children compete, race, role play
and perform using our products. Group play
will help to teach them cooperation and
coordination based on physical interaction.
They will then learn by imitating the actions
of others – probably our most basic way of
learning.
EMOTIONAL
When a child jumps down from a GONGE®
Hilltop or walks on River Stones, it is not just
a matter of landing safely or keeping their
balance. These experiences allow children
to develop a general emotional robustness
and confidence in their ability to master
challenges. These physical activities make
important contributions to a child’s selfconfidence
at an early age, which will be vital
in later life.
COGNITIVE
Body and mind cannot be regarded as
separate. Basic cognitive functions, such as
memory, concentration, problem solving and
spatial orientation, are all vital for many of
the physical activities inspired by GONGE®.
This can be anything from estimating the
distance before a jump to developing new
language skills when naming or sorting
physical activities.
