Karibou is a physical literacy program for children 1 to 5 years old accompanied by a parent. Children go around courses, learn through group tasks and take on challenges that will allow them to gradually develop an interest for sports and physical activities. Each 50-minute class allows them to execute a wide range of movements including throwing, catching, jumping, dancing, rolling and running. Obviously, the primary objective is for them to simply have fun!
