Grade R Life Skills: Movement
and Creative Activities
GRL1501
SECTION A: MOVEMENT
QUESTION 1 (30)
### 1.1 Activities to Improve Visual Skills of Grade R Learners
**Activity 1: "I Spy" Nature Walk**
- **Objective**: Enhance visual discrimination skills and attention to
detail.
- **Description**: Take the learners on a nature walk and play a game
of "I Spy," where the teacher describes an object they can see, such as a
specific leaf, flower, or animal. The children must then locate the object.
This activity encourages them to observe closely and differentiate
between various shapes, colors, and sizes in their environment.
**Activity 2: Shape Collage**
- **Objective**: Improve shape recognition and visual-motor
coordination.
- **Description**: Provide each child with a variety of pre-cut shapes
(circles, squares, triangles, etc.) in different colors. Ask them to create a
collage by gluing the shapes onto a piece of paper in a design of their
choice. This hands-on activity will help them recognize different shapes
and colors while refining their fine motor skills through gluing and
arranging.
### 1.2 Aspects Inhibiting Children's Movement in Modern Families
, 1. **Increased Screen Time**: With the rise of technology, children
often spend long hours in front of screens (TVs, tablets, smartphones),
which significantly reduces their physical activity levels and
opportunities to engage in active play.
2. **Safety Concerns**: Modern families often express heightened
concerns about safety in neighborhoods, leading to restricted outdoor
play. Parents may fear accidents, crimes, or stranger danger, which can
result in limited opportunities for children to move freely outside.
3. **Structured Schedules**: Many families now have packed
schedules with organized activities and classes, such as sports or ballet,
which leave little room for unstructured playtime. This can limit
spontaneous movement and exploration, essential for physical and
social development.
### 1.3 Rolling During Infancy and Holistic Development
1. **Physical Development**: Rolling helps infants develop core
strength and coordination, essential for later gross motor skills such as
crawling and walking. It encourages the use of different muscle groups
and enhances overall physical fitness.
2. **Cognitive Development**: As infants learn to roll, they begin to
explore their surroundings actively. This new perspective stimulates
curiosity and promotes sensory exploration, which is critical in
developing cognitive skills.
3. **Social-Emotional Development**: Rolling can be a form of
independent exploration that fosters a sense of autonomy in infants. As
they roll and interact with their environment, they gain confidence,
which is important for their emotional development and relationships
with caregivers and peers.
