FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT
Fundamental movements contain activities that incorporate various ways of locomotion, non locomotion and object manipulation. These activities are guided towards helping children develop the necessary skills that they will be using during invdividual and team sports later on in their lives.
Locomotion skills include any type of movement that makes a student move, either on two feet, hands or both hands and feet. Some examples of bidpedal locomotor movements are walking, jogging, running, leaping, sliding/shuffling, galloping, hopping, jumping, skipping and so on. Some examples that involve hands or hand and feet are crab walks, monkey walks, bear walks, inchworm, cartwheels, rolls (front, back, shoulder) and so on.
Non locomotion skills include any type of static or stationary skills that the student can perform. These non locomotor skills involved balances and supports such as knee scale, straddle stand, front/read support, plank, etc.
Object manipulation skills are those that utilise how to control and experiment with various types of objects. Students learn how to manipulate various sized balls, beanbags, hula hoops, rackets and so on.
By engaging students in Fundamental Movements, they will acquire a vast amount of skills that are transferable to the sports and activities they will be playing in. Please select the activity you would like to experiment with you and you students. More are on the way!
