and co-ordination

activities and how to evaluate their own success
I. INTRODUCTION
Who doesn't love playing sports or participating in recreational activities?
That's all well and good, but remember that certain sports and activities are better
and more level-appropriate for elementary students, others are better for middle
school students, and still others are best suited for high school.
However, to compound matters, not all students grow and develop at the same rate,
and thus different students in the same grade may be at different levels of
development. Therefore, make sure children of different ages and abilities are
steered toward the right sports and activities for their musculature and skill level.
II DISCUSSION
Ages 1-5
Children up to five tend to lack the advanced motor skills necessary to play
organized sports. However, they can still play movement games such as hide-and-
seek, freeze tag, and red rover.
Kindergarten
Children at this age need to only demonstrate basic locomotor skills, and can
perform fun activities such as:
Galloping
Hopping
Jogging
Playground
Running
Sliding
Skipping
Walking
Kindergarten students can also participate in creative dance led by the educator,
and can jump rope one time with a short rope. They can toss a ball underhand while
stepping with the opposite foot. They can also kick a ball without running up to it,
catch a large ball, and dribble a ball with one hand.
Grades 1-5
First through fifth graders can slowly advance their skills they built on in
kindergarten. First graders may add the ability to throw underhand, but in a more
mature pattern. They may also dribble a basketball continuously, and a soccer ball
while walking. A first grader can use a long jump rope and do several revolutions.
Third graders may throw underhand to targets and overhand for distance,
may dribble while jogging, and may pass a soccer ball back-and-forth with the feet.
They may also hit balls with sticks and perform jump rope tricks.
Fifth graders can run various distances and pace themselves accordingly.
They can actually use gymnastics equipment to create a sequence. They can also
strike a ball from a pitcher using a bat.
Grades 6-8
At the middle school level students are much better adapted to play
competitive sports, especially ones that involve power, coordination, and agility.
These students also begin to employ more advanced strategies and tactics as their
mental abilities improve as well. At this stage there is also an increased emphasis on
weight transfer movement patterns, and proper body positions.
The aim of the survey is to overcome the lack of comprehensive statistics relating to
people's participation in sporting and physical recreational activities. The lack of
information on Tasmanians' sporting and recreational activities has hampered State
Government and local sporting bodies in their attempts to formulate and implement
more appropriate policies for the promotion and development of sport and physical
recreation activities throughout Tasmania.
III. CONCLUSION
In all classes there are children of differing physical ability. Whilst recognising
this fact, we provide suitable learning opportunities for all children by matching the
challenge of the task to the ability of the child. We achieve this through a range of
strategies:
