1. Locomotor & Nonlocomotor Skills
Ch 11

2. Locomotor Skills
Body moving from one place to another in a vertical plane
Develop bodily control
Walking, running, leaping, jumping, hopping, galloping, sliding, & skipping
Build upon to create routines and games

3. Locomotor Skills Lessons: Travel in general space
Different pathways (straight, curved, zigzag), directions (forward, backward, sideways), & different speeds (slow, medium, fast)
Response to signal (stop/start, change movements, pathways, directions, speed)

4. NonLocomotor Skills
Not require body to move from place to place; not incorporate objects into movement
Performed in stable position standing or sitting
Twisting, turning, bending, stretching, rocking, curling, balance

5. Motor Skill Progression
Phases:
Develop skill
Expand skill
Master skill

6. Motor Skill Progression
Progression tree – allows learner to chart their individual success; visually see progress
Self-paced, fundamental skills
Task cards: instructions & examples of activities
Chasing, fleeing, dodging, jumping, landing
Different levels of learners, adapt

7. Chasing, Fleeing, Dodging
Used in many games and activities
Changing of direction and location, traveling, ducking while moving
Use invisible or imaginary opponent
Versions of tag
External cues

8. Task Cards Run under general space Start/stop on signal
Travel around stationary object
Travel in different pathways
Shadow partner
Dodging while avoiding stationary taggers
Simple tag games

9. Task Cards Chasing, fleeing, & dodging while avoiding moving person
Complex tag games
Take the pin basic
Capture the flag
Chasing, fleeing, dodging while manipulating object

10. Jumping & Landing Sporting activities Quality Start at age 2
Learn to land on 2 feet progress to 1
Takeoff, flight, landing
Distance, height

11. Jumping & Landing Hop – jump from one foot to same foot
Leap – jump from one foot to opposite foot
One foot takeoff – jump from one foot to land on two feet
Two footed takeoff – jumping high; jump from two feet to land on two feet
Jumping from two feet to land on 1

12. Jumping Skills Jump and land over stationary objects
Jump and land in self space
Use creative movement
Jump and land for distance, low height
Jump and land while traveling, over objects, add turns, jump sequence, rope

13. Non-Locomotor Skills Movements in same place Mostly used in gymnastics
Stretch, tuck, pike, straddle, turn, twist, bend
No one best correct form
Goals: explain meaning of skill to understand concepts & give learners opportunities to demonstrate understanding of skill by examples

14. Non-Locomotor Skills
Balancing – keeping body’s center of gravity above base of support
Tense & relax muscles to shift body
Teaching: base of support & stable vs unstable balances
Stable resists gravity or force
Unstable easily disrupted

15. Balance Learning Tasks
Balance own body
Balance an object
Balance another person

16. Balance Perform on different bases of support
Control muscular contractions
Develop strength, flexibility
Progression as able to regain balance quickly
Work in pairs/groups

17. Balance Bases of support Landings Objects/apparatus Traveling
Shoulder balance
Hand balance, body curled
Complex movements, partners

18. Peer Evaluations
Students responsible for watching other students perform making judgments & improvements

19. Evaluations
Understand grade level and abilities
