1.1 The following are three categories of movement. Define each category and provide an example of an activity for each. (3 X 3) (9)
• Locomotion
• Manipulation
• Stability
1.1 The following are three categories of movement. Define each category and
provide an example of an activity for each. (3 X 3) (9)
• Locomotion
• Manipulation
• Stability
Locomotion: Locomotion refers to the act of moving from one place to another. An example of an
activity for locomotion is walking or running.
Manipulation: Manipulation refers to the act of using the hands to interact with objects and the
environment. An example of an activity for manipulation is writing with a pen or using a keyboard.
Stability: Stability refers to the ability to maintain balance and control of the body. An example of an
activity for stability is standing on one leg or maintaining a yoga pose.

1.2 Research has proven the benefits of physical activity for young children.
Mention three of those benefits. (3)
1. Improved physical health and fitness, including reduced risk of obesity and developing healthy habits
for lifelong well-being.
2. Enhanced cognitive development, including improved attention, memory, and problem-solving skills.
3. Better emotional and social development, including increased self-esteem, confidence, and social
interaction skills.
1.3 Explain two ways in which you can create a safe environment for children
during multi-station movement lessons. (4)
1. One way to create a safe environment for children during multi-station movement lessons is to
clearly define and demonstrate the rules and expectations for each station. This can include guidelines
for how to safely and properly use equipment, how to interact with other students, and how to move
between stations in an organized manner. By setting clear expectations, children are more likely to
understand how to act safely and responsibly during the lesson.
2. Another way to create a safe environment is to provide adequate supervision and support from
teachers or adult volunteers. Having adults present at each station can ensure that children are
practicing proper form and technique, using equipment safely, and adhering to the rules. Adults can
also intervene if there are any safety concerns or issues that arise during the lesson.
