PE1.6
Apply an understanding of how to vary the movement of the body while performing locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills through changes in:
  • space (personal space, general space, levels, directions, pathways)
  • effort (force, time/speed)
  • relationships (individually and with objects).
Indicators for this outcome
(a) Move appropriately in response to movement vocabulary words associated with body, space, effort, and relationships (e.g., wide body, narrow body, slink, creep slowly, stretch up high, curl, crawl in a straight line, slither, spin, twist, bend low).
(b) Use the vocabulary of movement to lead others in movements (e.g., “Follow me as I reach up high then dip down low, and slide sideways slowly and smoothly”).
(c) Explain the difference between personal space and general space.
(d) Respond physically and correctly to simple movement phrases to reinforce body and space awareness, locomotor and non-locomotor skills, and control (e.g., hop forward, walk slowly, balance on one foot, slide sideways, twirl gracefully, run in a zig-zag pathway).
(e) Move in general space, changing directions, levels, and pathways purposefully avoiding others (e.g., slide sideways using proper foot work varying effort such as “slide like a tall dancer”, “slide like a low basketball player”).
(f) Perform movement sequences involving locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills, as described by the teacher (e.g., “roll a ball forward gently, jump in the air, land and then skip forward to collect the ball”).
(g) Demonstrate and use various pathways, levels, and directions for a variety of purposes (e.g., to move through obstacle courses, to chase, to flee, to dodge).
(h) Demonstrate skills for changing directions through chasing, fleeing, and dodging movement activities (e.g., tag games).
(i) Explore and demonstrate ways to move a ball, hoop, or another object through space using various body parts.
(j)

Demonstrate an understanding of specific movement variables including:

  • body actions (e.g., swing, sink)
  • relationships (e.g., over/under, on/off, near/far)
  • formations (e.g., lines, circles)
  • effort and qualities (e.g., slowly, quickly, lightly, heavily).
(k) Create, demonstrate, and verbally share movement patterns that include two to four movements (e.g., “I moved quickly on a low level under objects”).
