Takeaways

• 🏃 Local motor skills involve moving the body in specific ways within a space, such as from one side of a gym to another.
• 🔄 There is a distinction between local and non-local motor skills, with the latter to be covered in a future video.
• 🏋️‍♂️ The top eight local motor skills, in order of difficulty, are walking, running, jumping, hopping, leaping, sliding, skipping, and galloping.
• 📍 Practicing these skills requires a designated space, which can be marked with cups, or simply chosen in a larger room or gym.
• 🚶 Walking is the first skill demonstrated, involving a slow, controlled pace around a set boundary.
• 🏃 Running is the second skill, with cues provided for foot and hand placement to maintain proper form.
• 🤸‍♂️ Jumping is the third skill, characterized by bending the knees and swinging arms to generate momentum for the jump.
• 🕺 Hopping is similar to jumping but performed on one foot, requiring balance and coordination.
• 🕴 Sliding is a skill that involves a wide base stance and a gliding motion, with a slight bob as you move.
• 🦘 Leaping is a jump over a line or object, emphasizing the importance of landing on the opposite foot from the one used to jump.
