It also works on building on the child’s gross motor skills. This can be a group activity or an individual one. It is also manly child-led. Everyone can be included. However, children with additional needs may need specialist bikes/scoter and they may need support riding it, for example, a child with…

For the athletes to learn the hitting skill correctly, it is important to look at the sessions practice design. Motor learning occurs through practice or experience (Hoffman, 2018c). As the hit has both a start and finish, it will be viewed as a discrete skill. Massed vs Distributed Practice Massed practice is where activities in each session are performed closely together. Distributed practice is where activities in each session are spread apart and there are a greater number of sessions each…

similar skill grouping together and creating an environment that divides students. The differentiation supplied is great for students with advanced skill, but there is no differentiation for students with lower skill, or other impairments. This activity outlines a great game, but it is a poorly constructed lesson plan. This lesson plan does not do a very good job at differentiating for multiple abilities or interests. The lesson plan only differentiates for students with advanced athletic…

they learn to solve problems and get along with other children around them. Children used their Gross Motor Skills to grow and learn. For example; when children used these skills they learn to climb, balance, and crawl. Another methods of solve problems is by playing with a puzzle; they learn to look for the missing pieces to put them together again. In this matter they learn to used memory skills also; as well the length of time. Children move on to a second level or higher to do another…
