QUESTION 1
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: This category refers to the movement of the body from one place to another. An
example of an activity for locomotion is running.
Manipulation: This category refers to the movement of objects or tools with the hands or other body
parts. An example of an activity for manipulation is throwing a ball.
Stability: This category refers to the ability to maintain balance and control while standing or sitting.
An example of an activity for stability is standing on one leg.
1.2.Research has proven the benefits of physical activity for young children. Mention three of
those benefits. (3)
1. Improved physical health: Physical activity helps children develop strong muscles and bones,
maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of developing chronic
diseases later in life.
2. Enhanced cognitive development: Regular physical activity has been linked to improved
concentration, attention, and academic performance in children.
3. Social and emotional development: Physical activity promotes positive social interactions and
teamwork, boosts self-esteem, and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression in young children.
1.3 Explain two ways in which you can create a safe environment for children during multi-station
movement lessons. (4)
1. Clear and organized spaces: Ensure that the space where the multi-station movement lessons will
take place is free from any obstacles or hazards. Clear all potential tripping hazards and provide
adequate space for children to move safely between stations. Mark out each station clearly to show
the boundaries of where the children should be during each activity.
2. Supervision and instruction: Have an adequate number of adult supervisors to monitor and guide
the children as they move between stations. Ensure that supervisors are trained in the proper
techniques for guiding children through movement activities and are alert to any potential safety
hazards. Provide clear and consistent instructions to children before they begin the multi-station
movement lesson and monitor their progress throughout to ensure they are following the rules and
staying safe.
