Note to Pupils:
Locomotor movements
Locomotor movement refers to the physical actions or motions that involve the movement of the entire body from one place to another. These movements require coordination of various body parts and they include Crawling, Jogging, Skipping, Galloping, Climbing, and Hopping.
Identification of Locomotor Movements
Crawling: Crawling is a way of moving on your hands and knees, like a baby does before learning to walk. You move forward while keeping your belly close to the ground.
Jogging: Jogging is a bit faster than walking, but not as fast as running. You do it by running at a gentle pace. It’s great for staying fit and healthy.
Skipping: Skipping is a fun way to move where you jump on one foot, then the other, while moving forward. It’s like a dance while you walk!
Galloping: Galloping is similar to skipping, but you jump forward on one foot and then on the other. It’s a bit like a horse’s gallop.
Climbing: Climbing means going up something, like stairs or a tree. It’s a great way to test your strength and balance.
Hopping: Hopping is when you jump on one foot, like a bunny. It’s a fun way to move quickly.
These are the different ways your body can move, and they’re all important for different activities and games.
