<p>The intention of the study is to investigate pedagogues understanding of physical activities in preschool. Should special activities be planned in order to stimulate children´s progress in motor skills? I also want to find out if pedagogues found the acitivities in preschool curriculum which says that the aim is to develop children´s body perception and teaching children how to care for their own health. I have interviewed seven pedagogues and focus of the question lied within motor skills and the joy of movement among preschool children. The result shows that pedagogues regard it to be important to stimulate motor activities and to encourage joy of movement in preschool. However the interviewed pedagogues believe that children can be supported in their development both through planned and more spontaneous activities. It is only a few of the pedagogues that make a connection between well developed motor skills in preschool children and the children´s future health.</p><p>Keywords: Preschool pedagogues, motor activity, planned activity and joy of movement</p>
