Movement Skills and Concepts
 Four steps for teaching movement skills and
concepts

Step Two: Experiment and Explore
 Phrases that encourage experimentation and
exploration
 Variety achieved by setting limitations or ask
them to develop the task in a different way
 Present tasks in the form of questions or
statements
 Use contrasting terms to increase the depth and
variety of movement

Step Three: Observe and Discuss Various
Solutions
 Observation of other patterns
 Focus discussion on how to put together different
movement into flow and continuity
 Point out that there are many ways to solve one
problem

Step Four: Refine and Expand Solutions to the
Problem
 Integration of ideas and thoughts of students
 Work together to develop new solutions
 Develop cooperative partner and small-group
skills
 Make problems realistic
 Allow for discussion and decision-making
between partners

concepts and skills
 Movement themes
 Fundamental skills
 Manipulative skills

Teaching Movement Themes
 Body Awareness Themes: Use the concept of
movement themes to create various movement
patterns and sequences
 Four major groups or concepts
 Body awareness
 Space awareness
 Qualities of movement
 Relationships
