Skill Drill Fundamental Movement Skills Activities for Reception

Rotating circuit stations using benches, mats, hoops and cones for body management skills

Students explore different jumping techniques by copying animal movements

Learn and practice bear crawl, inch worm, and gorilla walk movements with proper technique

Children rotate through stations with different apparatus to practice moving over and under safely

Students experiment with different arm positions to discover how arm swing helps generate jumping power

Partners sit back-to-back and pass objects using twisting movements

Moving around space and picking up objects while maintaining balance and control

Navigate through simple obstacles while maintaining balance of objects on different body parts
