    Which is NOT a locomotor skill? 

    • Jumping

    • Skipping

    • Twisting

    • Sliding

    Correct Answer
    A. Twisting
    Explanation
    Twisting is not considered a locomotor skill because it does not involve moving from one place to another. Locomotor skills are movements that allow an individual to travel through space, such as jumping, skipping, and sliding. Twisting, on the other hand, involves rotating the body without changing position in space.

    • Catching

    • Jumping

    • Pushing

    Correct Answer
    A. Catching
    Explanation
    Catching is considered an object manipulation skill because it involves using hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills to grasp and hold onto an object that is moving towards you. It requires timing, accuracy, and the ability to adjust your hand position to catch the object successfully. Jumping and pushing, on the other hand, do not involve manipulating objects in the same way as catching does.

    A kindergarten introductory physical education lesson includes the following activity;  The teacher instructs students to walk forward for eight counts using high steps, and walk backwards for eight counts using low steps. The primary purpose of this activity is to reinforce:  

    • Body imaging

    • Balance

    • Rhythmic movement

    • Hand-eye coordination

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhythmic movement
    Explanation
    This activity is designed to reinforce rhythmic movement. By instructing the students to walk forward for eight counts using high steps and then walk backwards for eight counts using low steps, the teacher is encouraging the students to move in a coordinated and rhythmic manner. This helps them develop their sense of rhythm and timing, which are important skills in physical education. Additionally, this activity also indirectly promotes balance and body imaging as the students have to maintain their balance while performing the high and low steps. However, the primary purpose of the activity is to reinforce rhythmic movement.

    A SECOND GRADE PE activity involves throwing a beanbag through a target placed 15 feet from the student.  The performance objetive of this activity most likely emphasizes:

    • GROSS MOTOR COORDINATION

    • OBJECT HANDLING SKILLS

    • CROSS LATERAL THROWING MOVEMENT

    • STATIC BALANCE

    Correct Answer
    A. CROSS LATERAL THROWING MOVEMENT
    Explanation
    The correct answer is CROSS LATERAL THROWING MOVEMENT. This is because the activity involves throwing a beanbag through a target, which requires the student to use their arms and hands in a coordinated manner while crossing the midline of their body. This movement helps to develop their cross-lateral throwing skills, which involve using both sides of their body together. Gross motor coordination and object handling skills may also be important for this activity, but the emphasis is on the specific cross-lateral throwing movement. Static balance is not directly related to this activity.
