PE1.8
Build a repertoire of strategies and skills, with guidance, for and through active participation in a variety of movement activities including:
  • low-organizational games involving travelling (e.g., tag games, follow-the-leader, hopscotch, long-rope skipping)
  • target games (e.g., ring or hoop toss, bowling, bocce ball)
  • alternate environment activities and games (e.g., snowsnakes, hiking, skating, snowshoeing, aquatics, cycling, tobogganing, cross-country skiing).
Indicators for this outcome
(a) Explain and try to follow the main purpose or objective of games and activities while participating.
(b) Practise teacher-described strategies for play that will support enjoyment in specified movement activities (e.g., tag games – move into open spaces, hide behind other people, move only when the ‘it’ person is getting close; bocce ball – release the ball close to the ground so it will roll on the ground and not fly through the air).
(c) Demonstrate a willingness to try to apply discussed strategies for playing a variety of games (e.g., take turns being the leader in follow-the-leader).
(d) Demonstrate attempts to use appropriate skills when playing games (e.g., hopping on one foot when appropriate while playing hopscotch).
(e) Assume responsibility for various roles (e.g., leader, follower, “it”, “not it”) while participating in low-organizational games and activities.
(f) Take turns setting up equipment (e.g., plastic bowling pins, a pylon, hoops) to support one another in participating in games and activities.
(g) Create and use appropriate play spaces such as hopscotch patterns on outdoor surfaces.
(h) Identify, describe, and try to use the skills and strategies needed to participate in teacher-selected, self-selected, and peer-selected games and activities.
(i) Participate willingly in moderate to vigorous movement activities (e.g., walking, hiking, snowshoeing) in a natural environment for extended periods of time, in both warm and cooler weather.
