Name of Activity: Movement Concept/Locomotor Movement Assessment

Purpose of Activity: A quick assessment to determine whether 2nd graders grasp the concepts of locomotor movements, different pathways and personal space.

Suggested Grade Level: 2-3

Materials Needed: Writing utensils for the kids.

Description of Idea

This assessment can be used as an exit slip at the end of a class or can handed out as a take home assignment. The classroom teacher could be asked to have them fill this out before coming to PE class as well.

Teacher: Probably best to copy this into a word document and format it for yourself.

*******************************************************************************

Name : _______________________ Class: _____________________


1) Circle all the locomotor movements:

Skip Stretch Hop Twist Run Walk Bend Gallop Crawl Slide Leap Sway Jump


2) Draw a zig-zag pathway:

3) Draw a curved pathway:

4) Circle all the people that have personal space:

(Teacher draws two people with personal space and two people who are very close to each other before photocopying the assessment for the students)

*******************************************************************************

Variations:

You could change question 1 to sequential pictures that deomonstrate the locomotor movements and have them write the word in a blank next to each movement (you will no doubt need to post a word list).

For question 4 you could either have them diagram people in an open space or I would provide a rectangle and randomly places letters inside it (some letters in "good" personal space, some letters not) and have them write the letters that are in "good" personal space.

Teaching Suggestions:

You might have to read this to some of the kids in the class so remember to set aside time for this.
