Class Activity Discussion

1. What is locomotive movement?
   Locomotive movement is moving from one place to another.
2. Can you name three examples of locomotive movement?
   Hopping, running, and skipping are examples of locomotive movement.
3. How is jumping considered a locomotive movement?
   Jumping is a locomotive movement because it involves moving your body from one place to another.
4. What makes crawling a locomotive movement?
   Crawling is a locomotive movement because it changes your position as you move forward on your hands and knees.
5. What is the difference between walking and running?
   Walking involves moving one foot at a time with the body in a more upright position, while running involves both feet leaving the ground at times, making it faster.
6. Why is skipping a combination of two movements?
   Skipping combines hopping and walking to move forward in a rhythmic pattern.
7. What type of movement is galloping?
   Galloping is a type of locomotive movement that involves moving quickly with one foot leading.
8. How can you identify a non-locomotive movement?
   Non-locomotive movements involve staying in one place and not changing your position, like twisting or balancing.
9. Give an example of a movement that does not involve changing position.
   Balancing or twisting are examples of movements that do not change your position.
10. Why is running considered a fundamental movement?
    Running is a fundamental movement because it involves basic, natural motion of moving the body from one place to another.
11. What is the main feature of locomotive movement?
    The main feature of locomotive movement is the ability to move the body from one place to another.
12. How does hopping differ from jumping?
    Hopping involves moving on one foot, while jumping involves both feet leaving the ground.
13. What type of movement is sliding?
    Sliding is a type of locomotive movement that involves moving smoothly from one place to another.
14. Can you name a movement that combines jumping and running?
    Skipping combines elements of jumping and running.
15. What is the purpose of learning about different types of movement?
    Understanding different types of movement helps improve physical skills and coordination, and allows for better participation in various activities.
