Table of Contents Curriculum Connectors Chart Song List Preface Introduction Benefits of Moving & Learning Implementing the Program Early Elementary Children: Developmental Considerations Unit 1 Openers and Closers This section consists of the "quieter" activities-those involving isolated body parts, such as the hands, face, arms, or legs, and specific relaxation exercises. Choose these activities to psychologically and physically prepare your students to begin or end their movement classes-or any time a less vigorous activity is called for. Unit 2 Basic Movement These activities explore the fundamental locomotor and nonlocomotor skills and the movement elements of space, shape, time, force, and flow. They form the foundation of a child-centered physical education program and provide the basic knowledge essential to the next three categories. Unit 3 Cooperative Activities The activities in this section serve three purposes: 1) They offer the students opportunities to work cooperatively with partners and in small and large groups. 2) They provide greater challenge, beyond what the children experience in Unit 2. 3) These activities can physically and emotionally prepare the students to successfully work together in those educational gymnastics and rhythm and dance activities requiring participation in pairs or groups. Unit 4 Educational Gymnastics Included in this section are activities related to the gymnastic skills of transferring weight, rolling, and balancing. The exploration of combinations of locomotor and nonlocomotor skills are also included in this unit, as gymnastics typically involves the sequencing of movement skills. Unit 5 Rhythm and Dance The movement element of rhythm, the musical concepts of beat and meter, and the qualities of swinging, sustained, suspended, percussive, vibratory, and collapsing movement are explored in this unit. The Statues activities offer students the opportunity to improvise and express themselves to a variety of music, and the Movement Words activities provide a chance for students to perform combinations of skills in interpretive and expressive ways. All of the activities in this unit prepare children for dance experiences in the upper elementary grades. References Additional Resources
