A "kinesiology carnival" was found to be a useful classroom project for university physical education majors working with elementary school children. In the spring of 1977, kinesiology graduate and undergraduate students at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro and 60 local fifth-grade students carried out a kinesiology carnival at the campus school. The major goals of the carnival were to present kinesiological principles of human movement in new and exciting ways to elementary school children, to encourage the development of critical and creative skills in both the children and the college students, and to provide the physical education majors with a first-hand experience in working with elementary school pupils. Prior to the carnival, the university students were divided into six groups for the preparation of six separate stations, each of which would employ a planned multimedia presentation of a kinesthetic principle. The students were encouraged to explore various teaching methods and resources in preparing these presentations. On carnival day, the elementary students (in groups of ten) visited one station at a time, rotating through the gym until all stations had been covered. Evaluation procedures were undertaken at the conclusion of the carnival. The carnival was found to be an effective, low-cost tool for providing direct experiential learning of both content and communication skills for undergraduate and graduate physical education majors.
