Lesson Locomotor Skills

21

Walking, Running, Jumping and Throwing are locomotor
skills. In these skills a player will change his/her place while
performing different activities of locomotor skills. Athletics is
also taken as locomotor skills.

Warm up

The different exercises which we will perform before
playing games is known as warm up. While performing these
exercises, we will do exercises from toe to head. It keeps our
body in good condition to play games. Without performing
warm up, we must not play any games and sports.

Walking

Walking is good exercise for health. It
maintains our body weight, improve body
balance, keep our muscles and bones strong
and can stay away from different diseases,
etc. We will walk in different ways like
forward, backward, in line, in zigzag line,
etc. It is a kind of warm up exercise. Not only
walking, let us do these following activities.



204 Blooming Science, Health and Physical Education Book 3

1. We will run three minutes in circle
2. We will run by lifting our legs up to the waist level.
3. We will run by taking a full circle in left side

Blooming Science, Health and Physical Education Book 3 205

Running

Running is the way to move our legs faster towards forward
direction. It is the best exercise for our health. It maintains our
body in good condition. Now, I will cross the 30 meter distance
easily with friends. Not only one or two days, I have to practice
running everyday. Let us run in a track who will reach first in the
destination.

Hopping

Hopping is also a physical exercise. To perform this
activities, which leg I will take off, the same leg I will place on
the ground. It can be performed by one or two legs. I can reach
there by hopping with one leg. Let us practice.

206 Blooming Science, Health and Physical Education Book 3

20 meterSkipping

Jump over a rope which is hold at both ends by oneself
or two other people and turned repeatedly over the head and
under the feet known as skipping. It is good exercise of legs,
arms, chest and muscle of the body. Let us practice skipping.

Jumping

Jumping is to push our self off the ground in to the air by
using our legs. It is the best exercise for us. It helps to make our
body and mind healthy. I will easily turn in the air by jumping.
I will reach 20 meter distance by jumping. Let us practice for
jumping.

Blooming Science, Health and Physical Education Book 3 207

I can jump 50 c.m. easily
It is very enjoyable to cross over the rope by keeping two poles
in both side. Scissor style will be easy to cross over the rope.

I will catch the rope with my friends to help my friends for
jumping.

208 Blooming Science, Health and Physical Education Book 3

Throwing
