Lab 3: Locomotor Skills Applied In Low Organized Games


1.      Select one of locomotor skills and create your own set of teaching cues.

Teaching a locomotor skill of running could have a set of cues to help teach students to remember how to perform running. These cues could be “pumping” of the arms, “opposition” of arms and legs and “heel to toe” when landing on your feet.


2.      Identify the specific pathways used in each of the low organized games presented in the lesson focus.

The specific pathways used in each of the low organized games presented in the lesson focus consisted of a straight line, zigzag and a curved or circular pathway. The Fire Chief game utilized a straight pathway. The Forest Ranger game utilized a circular pathway. The game Spelling Master established a pathway of a zigzag.

3.      Select a topic for a class talk and outline the questions and key points that would help you guide a class talk.

A topic that could be expressed during a class talk would be Goal Setting.

·         What is the students personal goal?

ü  This will help the students to start to think of what it is they would like to achieve.

·         Why is important to put 100% effort into reaching your goal?

ü  This will help the students understand the importance of trying their best to be successful and that with hard work establishes a reward.

·         How will goal setting help you throughout life?

ü  Students will be able to understand that setting a goal will drive them to achieve and create opportunities to better themselves as they get older.

·         Is it ok to not reach your goal even though you gave 100% effort?

ü  This will express to students that they are not always going to be able to fulfill their goals but giving them encouragement for trying their best as well as having them continue to try and reach that goal.

4.      Make a checklist of performance points to look for in one of the locomotor movements.

Jumping:


ü  Both feet are together during takeoff and airtime.

ü  Both feet land at same time.

ü  Knees are bent when jumping.

ü  Arms are being pumped when jumping.

ü  Student leans forward slightly to jump forward.
