Games And Dance: PYRRHIC DANCE, pir'ik (also called PYRRHICA), a famous war dance of Doric origin, performed by men dressed in armor and illustrating the various positions of attack and defense. It was danced in very quick time to the sound of the flute. In Roman times it was introduced into the public games by Julius Caesar. Both male and female performers took part and the dance was marked by dramatic quality.
Christopher Robertson, with Richard Bailey, has developed a course which addresses DCD and related motor difficulties within a physical education course. This course enhances knowledge of the National Curriculum and focuses particularly upon Gymnastics, Games and Dance. Further details are available from the author at: The Faculty of Education, Canterbury Christ Church University College.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
