LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS
Walking Is a slow locomotor skill where one foot is always on
the ground. As the left foot is on the ground the right
foot is in the air moving forward. Then the right foot
makes contact with the heel first as the left foot
moves forward in the air.
Running It is faster locomotor skill. During a run, the feet are
both in the air at the same time. The feet alternate
moving forward during the skill.
Hopping It is a one footed skill. Students stand on one foot and
will hop with the one foot. The opposite foot is bent at
the knee and trailing behind the back of the student.

process of a learning–by-doing.
 MOTOR SKILL

• Locomotor and Non-Locomotor skills
 MANIPULATIVE SKILLS

control.

• These largely involve physical activities with the use of hand

and body coordination to execute a task.

• Manipulative skills start developing from a childhood and it is

important for parents or teachers to train children strongly in
