CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION TO NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS

WARM-UP ACTIVITIES

1. Simple stretching exercises
2. Arm swinging

3. Body bending

4. Gentle twisting movements

LESSON 2 – MEANING OF NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS

Non-locomotor movements are movements that are performed without moving from one place to another. The body stays in one position while different body parts move.

There are different types of non-locomotor movements:

1. STRETCHING

Stretching is the activity of extending or lengthening body parts. Examples include:

• Reaching arms up high
• Stretching legs apart
• Extending the spine

2. BENDING

Bending is the activity of flexing or curving body parts. Examples include:

• Bending at the waist
• Bending knees
• Bending elbows

3. TWISTING

Twisting is the activity of rotating body parts around an axis. Examples include:

• Twisting the torso left and right
• Twisting arms
• Turning the head from side to side

4. SWINGING

Swinging is the activity of moving body parts in a pendulum-like motion. Examples include:

• Swinging arms back and forth
• Swinging legs while seated
• Swinging the whole body gently

5. PULLING

Pulling is the activity of drawing or dragging something toward the body. Examples include:

• Pulling a rope
• Pulling arms toward the chest
• Pulling objects closer

PRESENTATION

To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:

1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson on locomotor movements. Based on this, he/she asks the pupils some questions about moving from place to place;
2. Demonstrates each non-locomotor movement technique clearly;

Pupil’s Activities – Practice the techniques of stretching, bending, twisting, swinging and pulling.

1. Demonstrates the movements in sequence, supervises the children and offers assistance.

Pupil’s Activities – Practice non-locomotor movements in their personal space.

1. Demonstrates combinations of non-locomotor movements, supervise the children and offers assistance.

Pupil’s Activities – Practice combining different non-locomotor movement patterns.

1. Teacher leads pupils in creative movement activities using non-locomotor movements.

Pupil’s Activities – Create their own movement sequences using the learned movements.

CONCLUSION

To conclude the lesson for the week, the teacher revises the entire lesson and links it to the following week’s lesson.

NEXT LESSON

Basic Movements – Combining Locomotor and Non-Locomotor Movements Primary 1 (Basic 1) – Basic Science and Technology

LESSON EVALUATION

Asks pupils to:

1. Demonstrate each non-locomotor movement correctly
2. Name the five types of non-locomotor movements
3. Show the difference between locomotor and non-locomotor movements
