answered.
QUESTION 1 [25] 1.1 Fine motor abilities that involve using the smaller
muscles in the fingers and hand for actions such as holding a pencil or
fastening buttons, only develop after gross motor abilities, such as crawling,
jumping, and running. Develop an activity that will allow children to develop
gross motor skills. List the resources that you will need when developing the
activity, explain how you will set up the activity to allow for the development
of gross motor skills. Take a photo of the activity and paste it on the space
provided.
Activity for Developing Gross Motor Skills: Obstacle Course
Adventure
Activity Name: Obstacle Course Adventure
Goal: To develop various gross motor skills such as running, jumping, crawling, balancing, and
throwing.
Resources Needed:
Soft mats or blankets
Cushions or pillows of different sizes
Tunnels (can be store-bought or made from large cardboard boxes)
Hula hoops
Cones or markers
Beanbags or soft balls
A designated open and safe space (indoor or outdoor)
,Setup:
1. Define the Course: Arrange the resources in a sequence to create a simple obstacle
course. Ensure there is enough space between each obstacle for children to move safely.
2. Starting Point: Clearly mark a starting line for the children.
3. Obstacle 1: Crawling Tunnel: Place the tunnel on the ground. Children will crawl
through it.
4. Obstacle 2: Stepping Stones: Arrange the cushions or pillows in a line or scattered
pattern. Children will step over them, practicing balance and coordination.
5. Obstacle 3: Jumping Zone: Place the soft mats or blankets. Children will jump over
them or jump from one mat to another.
6. Obstacle 4: Hula Hoop Hop: Place the hula hoops on the ground. Children will hop into
and out of the hoops.
7. Obstacle 5: Cone Weaving: Arrange the cones in a zig-zag pattern. Children will run or
walk, weaving in and out of the cones.
8. Obstacle 6: Target Throw: Designate a target (e.g., a bucket or a marked area) and
place it a short distance away. Children will throw beanbags or soft balls at the target,
practicing their throwing skills.
9. Finishing Line: Clearly mark a finishing line after the last obstacle.
How the Activity Develops Gross Motor Skills:
Crawling (Tunnel): Strengthens arm, leg, and core muscles, and develops coordination.
Stepping/Jumping (Cushions/Mats): Improves balance, coordination, and leg strength.
Hopping (Hula Hoops): Enhances balance, coordination, and lower body strength.
Running/Weaving (Cones): Develops agility, speed, and coordination.
Throwing (Target): Improves hand-eye coordination and arm strength.
Navigating the entire course: Enhances spatial awareness, body control, and sequencing
of movements.
Photo of the Activity:
Unfortunately, as a large language model, I am unable to directly take and paste a photo.
However, imagine a simple setup in a living room or a backyard with the elements described
above arranged in a fun and engaging sequence. You would see children actively moving
through the course, crawling, stepping, jumping, weaving, and throwing.
, QUESTION 1.1 [25 marks] that outlines an activity designed to develop gross motor skills in
children, including the necessary resources, setup, and objectives. Since I cannot take or
provide a real photo, you can create the activity as described and take a photo for your
submission.
Activity Title: “Obstacle Course Adventure”
Age Group: 3 – 6 years
Gross Motor Skills Targeted: Crawling, jumping, balancing, running, climbing
Resources Needed:
Cones or plastic bottles (to mark boundaries)
Hula hoops
Small hurdles or pool noodles (for jumping over)
Balance beam (or a wooden plank placed on the ground)
Tunnel (can use a play tunnel or large cardboard box)
Beanbags or soft balls
Mats or blankets (for safe landing zones)
Setup and Instructions:
1. Start Line: Mark the start of the course with two cones.
2. Crawling Section: Set up a tunnel or large cardboard box for children to crawl through.
3. Jumping Section: Place 2–3 small hurdles (using pool noodles or low objects) spaced
out for jumping over.
4. Balancing Section: Lay down a balance beam or wooden plank on the grass for children
to walk across.
5. Throwing Target: Place a bucket or hoop and provide beanbags or soft balls for children
to throw into the target from a short distance.
6. Final Dash: Mark a final short sprint section (about 5 meters) to run to the finish line.
How This Activity Supports Gross Motor Development:
Crawling: Strengthens arms, legs, and coordination.
Jumping: Builds leg strength and balance.
Balancing: Enhances core stability and body control.
Throwing: Develops upper body coordination and spatial awareness.
