Hello, little athletes! 🌟 Today, we’re going to talk about a fun and exciting topic: Basic Movements – The way we catch and strike things. Let’s dive in! 😊⚽🎾

👐 Catching: Catching means stopping something that’s coming towards you with your hands. Imagine someone throws a ball to you, and you use your hands to grab it before it falls down. That’s catching! 🤲🏀

🏏 Examples of Catching:

• When you catch a balloon floating in the air at a party, that’s catching! 🎈
• If you play cricket and catch the ball with your hands, you’re a great catcher! 🏏

🥊 Striking: Striking is when you use your hands or an object to hit something. Think about playing with a drum or hitting a ball with a bat. That’s striking! 👋🥁

🎯 Examples of Striking:

• When you hit a drum with a stick, you are striking the drum! 🪘
• If you use a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball, that’s striking too! 🎾

So, catching is when you use your hands to grab something, and striking is when you hit something. Both are super fun to do and make us awesome little athletes! 🤸‍♀️🏅

Remember, practice makes perfect, so go out and catch some balls or strike a drum like a pro! 🤗🏀🪘
