- 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).
(a) |
Describe and incorporate strategies for play that will support deeper understanding of, and engagement 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). |
(b) |
Use movement skills, rules, and basic strategies to support cooperative participation in a variety of low-organizational games. |
(c) |
Create, with a partner, rules and strategies for combining manipulative skills into target games and share games with others. |
(d) |
Use effective movement skills and strategies to participate in winter activities for enjoyment that happen in an outdoor environment or a community facility (e.g., cross-country skiing, fox and geese, skating, snowshoeing, making snow angels, building snowpeople, playing snowsnakes). |
(e) |
Cooperate with others to play a variety of games that involve the use of objects such as a parachute, blanket, or towel. |
(f) |
Participate in a variety of games and activities that focus on `hitting a target'. |
(g) |
Plan, with others, and participate in an outdoor movement activity (e.g., walk, hike, cross-country ski, snowshoe) in a park or appropriate natural setting for 30 to 60 minutes, both in cold and warm weather. |
(h) |
Describe and demonstrate respect for the natural environment when participating in outdoor movement activities. |
(i) |
Solve challenges that involve participation in movement activities by following specific instructions and directions (e.g., locate checkpoints on the school yard following teacher-created indicators and participate in movement activities listed at each checkpoint; create strategies for a "team" to use in a given team tag game; vary the size and placement of objects used as targets in target games). |
