Question 1.1 — Gross Motor Development Activity
Activity: “Jungle Explorer Challenge”

enhance crucial gross motor skills, specifically locomotor, stability, and balance abilities.
The course integrates multiple stations that promote dynamic movement, coordination,
and postural control, providing a holistic approach to motor development.
Resources:
• 6–8 hula hoops (for jumping and spatial awareness)
• 10 cones (for slalom weaving and agility)
• 1–2 low beams or planks (for balancing exercises)
• 1–2 tunnels or large boxes (for crawling and core strengthening)
• Soft mats (to ensure safety in fall zones)
• Chalk or rope (to delineate boundaries)
• Whistle or bell (to signal transitions)
• Explorer hats (optional for thematic engagement)
Setup & Execution:
1. Environment: Select a flat, hazard-free outdoor space such as a playground or
open field, ensuring safety and accessibility.
2. Station Configuration: Arrange stations in either a circular or linear sequence to
facilitate smooth transitions:
