Lesson Content

what is Manipulative Movement?

Manipulative movement uses our hands and bodies to control objects. It’s significant for our physical progress and improves hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Examples are:

1. Throwing
2. Catching
3. Rolling
4. Kicking
5. Dribbling
6. Balancing
7. Stacking

Throwing

Throwing involves using your arm and hand to send an object through the air, like throwing a ball.

Catching

Catching is the opposite of throwing. You use your hands to stop a moving object,like catching a ball.

Rolling

Rolling moves an object along a surface by turning it, like rolling a ball.

Kicking

Kicking uses your foot to propel an object, like kicking a ball.

Dribbling

Dribbling means bouncing an object on the ground while moving, like dribbling a basketball.

Balancing

Balancing keeps your body steady, like balancing on one foot.

Stacking

Stacking means arranging objects on top of each other,like stacking blocks.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

1. what are three skills you learned about basic manipulative movement?
2. Can you describe how to throw a ball?
3. What is the difference between rolling and stacking?
4. Why is it critically important to practice basic manipulative movement?
5. Can you think of any other examples of manipulative movement that we use in our daily lives?

Assignment/Homework

1. Practice throwing and catching a ball with a partner.

Differentiation

• For slower learners: The teacher will provide one-on-one assistance and break down the movements into smaller steps.
• for advanced learners: The teacher will encourage them to create their own sequences of manipulative movements.
• For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids like diagrams and videos, provide verbal instructions, and incorporate hands-on activities.

Note for Teachers

Ensure adequate space for pupils to practice the movements safely. Provide encouragement and positive feedback to build confidence. Adapt the activities based on the availability of materials and the pupils’ skill levels.
