QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
●● Body awareness exercises. Answer: -Shape
-Balance
-Quality
-Space
-Exploring
●● Body awareness exercises: Shape. Answer: Instruction in concepts of
how the body can form different shapes
Examples:
-"Allow your body to form different shapes, wide or tall"
-"Stand like a pole"
●● Body awareness exercises: Balance. Answer: Instruction in concepts
of balance in the body
Examples:
-"Balance on one foot"
-"Balance on your hands while stretching your body"
,-"Form a tripod with your body"
●● Body awareness exercises: Quality. Answer: Instruction in the
concepts of speed, contrast, force and relaxation
Examples:
-"How fast or how slow can you move?"
-"Tense one part of your body and then relax another part of your body"
●● Body awareness exercises: Space. Answer: Instruction in concepts of
sharing space with others
Examples:
-"Run in a zigzag fashion without bumping into others"
-"Point to a spot and see if you can run straight toward it, touch it, and
run back without touching someone else"
-"Do warm-up exercises one arm's length apart"
●● Body awareness exercises: Exploring. Answer: Instruction in the
concepts of moving over, under, around, and through, and leading with
certain body parts
Examples:
, -"Make a bridge with a partner and then have a third person go under the
bridge"
-"Lead with your head when walking"
●● Early grades. Answer: -Teachers help students become aware of
space, basic movement, effort, and cooperative activities
-Students are expected to make smooth transitions between sequential
locomotor skills
-Activities should be noncompetitive
●● Upper elementary and middle grades. Answer: -The fundamental
movement skills developed earlier are applied as activity-specific motor
skills in a wide variety of settings
-Classroom objectives are to increase competency in building motor
control, motor skills, and movement patterns already established and
refined in earlier grades
-Students are expected to demonstrate more complex skills combining
locomotor and manipulation skills (e.g. dribbling a basketball)
-Activities should be related to sports
●● Locomotor skills. Answer: -Basic movement skills that are
performed in different directions and at different speeds
-Dynamic movements that propel the body upward, forward, or
backward
