The term 'busy bees' is particularly appropriate when describing
young children. Children from ages 2-5 are on the go much of the
time. Their interest in exploring and learning new things is
exciting to watch. However, reports about the skill and activity
levels of older children are very disturbing and, as educators,
demand our attention. The classroom teacher needs to instruct and
monitor the child's motor skills. This book has been designed to
help the classroom teacher with this prospect. The entire purpose
of this book is to provide practical and easy ways teachers can
help pupils develop gross motor skills while increasing their
activity level. Provided in the introductory pages of Gross motor
skills is background information on motor planning, body awareness,
bilateral integration and tactile awareness. An understanding of
the basics of each of these areas will help teachers in monitoring
and instructing pupils in motor skills. Included is information on
each topic, characteristics of children having difficulty within
each area, and suggestions for helping these pupils. Included at
the end of the introduction are developmental checklists of gross
motor skills of children from ages 3-5. Following the introductory
pages, the book is divided into seven major sections. 'Spatial and
body awareness' contains activities that help each pupil understand
his or her own body's potential for movement. Through action songs
and poems, as well as creative movement activities such as using
streamers, the pupil will develop a better understanding of his or
her own personal space and the space around him or her. Activities
devoted to walking, running, jumping, and more are included in the
section, 'Locomotor skills'. Developing these skills is crucial to
helping pupils gain further success in any other movement
experience. The 'Ball skills' section provides ideas for learning
to throw, catch and play with balls.
