Apply a repertoire of strategies, with guidance, for developing components of health-related fitness, including cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular endurance, and muscular strength through participation in a variety of movement activities.

Analyze daily habits and actions that demonstrate personal engagement in, and taking personal responsibility for, leading a physically active life.

Explore, express, and apply, a variety of ways to skillfully move the body through space while participating in movement activities, including at a:

• utilization level of skills when:
  • walking
  • running
  • jumping forward and landing
  • jumping sideways and landing
• control level of skill when:
  • jumping backward and landing
  • hopping (body moves on one foot as in right foot to right foot)
  • skipping (combines a step and a hop)
  • leaping (body `takes off' from one foot, propels through air for distance, then lands on the opposite foot)
  • sliding (one foot steps and the other moves to meet the first foot, "step-close")
  • galloping (one foot steps, body propels upward, other foot moves to meet the first foot)
  • rolling forward (see note)
  • rolling sideways
• progressing-towards-control level of skill when:
  • rolling backward (see note on page 34).

Explore, express, and apply, with guidance, a variety of ways to skillfully move the body on the spot while participating in movement activities, including at a:

• utilization level of skill when:
  • balancing
  • jumping and landing on the spot
• control level of skill when:
  • landing on hands from kneeling position
  • rotating on the spot
• progressing-towards-control level of skill when:
  • landing on hands from a bent knee standing position.

Explore, express, and apply, with guidance, a variety of ways to skillfully move objects while participating in movement activities, including at a:

• control level of skill when:
  • throwing
  • catching (collecting, gathering)
  • kicking
• progressing-towards-control level of skill when:
  • hand dribbling
  • foot dribbling
  • striking objects with hands
  • striking objects with short-handled implements (e.g., short-handled racquets, paddles).

Vary the performance of the body, while performing locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills by applying the basic movement variables of:

• space (general space, levels, directions, pathways, and extensions)
• effort (time/speed, force, and flow)
• relationships (with objects and with others).

Explore and demonstrate rhythmical movement with smooth transitions between movements in:

• self-created patterns
• responsive patterns, involving relationships with objects and others
• established dances.

Apply a repertoire of strategies and skills, with guidance, for and through active participation in a variety of movement activities including:

• low-organizational, cooperative, and inventive games involving locomotor and non-locomotor skills (e.g., tag games, follow-the-leader, fox and geese, parachute play, hopscotch)
• target games (e.g., ring or hoop toss, bowling, bocce ball, curling)
• alternate environment activities and games (e.g., hiking, skating, aquatics, orienteering, cross-country, skiing, cycling, dog sledding, tobogganing).

Examine and express the purpose of rules, procedures, etiquette, and safe behaviours and apply them while participating in a variety of movement activities.

Demonstrate self-control and a willingness to work and play cooperatively with all others (regardless of abilities, interests, and background experiences) while participating in movement activities.
