2 This exhibition won t just get your visitors moving. It will make them want to kick, smile, jump, shout, and dance about! Move and Play! challenges visitors to compete and cooperate, to play and have fun together. The joy and thrill of movement As they move sometimes singly, sometimes in teams visitors experiment with the latest technology and gain creative insights. The 20-plus interactive exhibits also invite visitors to learn about the impact of physical exercise on their own bodies: at each unit they learn which senses and cognitive processes are being put to the test, and what physical skills they are developing. Two thirds of the exhibits are specially designed to be accessible both to able-bodied visitors and to those with limited mobility. And every visitor gets the opportunity to try their skill at manoeuvring a wheelchair. Just look at the names of the exhibits for a taste of the fun and variety in store: Football on the bench, Disco donut, Sailing by shouts, Team stomp, Nostalgic tennis, and more

3 The joy and thrill of movement Exhibits: 1 How hard can you kick? Kick the ball towards the radar as hard as you can. The display shows the ball s speed in kilometres per hour. 2 How accurately can you kick? Kick the ball at the lighted part of the goal. Try to score a hit before the light shifts! 3 Sailing by shouts Turn the crank clockwise to start the game. To steer, shout into the horn and use the crank to raise or lower the sail. The boat slowly fills with water, so you sometimes need to pump it out. Can you keep the boat sailing? 4 Team stomp Step on the board and stamp down once. Wait for the starting shot. Then, the faster you stomp your feet, the faster your runner races ahead.

Put a ball in the airflow. Hit it with a bat or with your hand, and try to drive it through as many hoops as possible. 15 Dance of light Dancing is creative exercise.

See how you look on a thermalimaging camera. Different colours correspond to different temperatures. So, how can you change the temperature of your nose, ears, or hands? 17 Pulse station Hold on to the handles and check the screen: how does your heart rate vary? And how can you make it rise and fall? 18 Nostalgic tennis Stand on the floor near the edge of the tennis court. Hit the ball by moving sideways into its path. 20 Hula hoop Put the hula hoop around your waist and try to keep it up there swing your hips to dance a hula!
