PE2.8
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).
Indicators for this outcome
(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).
