  3. Definition of Manipulative Movement:
    • Movement involving the control, turning, twisting, bending, beating, bouncing, throwing, catching, or causing an object to move.
  4. Examples of Manipulative Movement:
    • Bouncing: Using force to make an object move up and down.
    • Striking: Hitting an object with a part of the body or a tool.
    • Kicking: Using the foot to propel an object.
    • Throwing: Propelling an object through the air.
    • Turning: Rotating an object or body part.
