Aim

How to find general space inside the four boundaries.

Equipment Required

• Four cones for boundaries (same color).
• Spot marker for every kid.
• Skill cards of shapes.
• Music Player & pen drive.

 Play Area Set-Up

• Spread out the sports marker inside the activity area.
• Keep four boundaries and tell them the importance of it.
• Explain that when you give a specific signal (e.g. whistle blow), the children must Stop/Freeze, Look, and Listen.

Activity 1 Description

• Greet the children, introduce yourself, and bring them to the activity area.
• Tell them to take personal space on their spot marker without sliding it from one place to another.
• Now explain to them the general space. It means space inside the four boundaries that can be used by anyone without hurting others.

Activity 2 Description

Purpose of Activity:

To give students an opportunity to practice a variety of locomotor skills and numbers, letters, and shapes to make them understand better about general space.

• Spot markers are randomly placed in the activity area.
• Students begin to move in general space using the locomotor skill specified by the teacher, on the pre-arranged signal (when the music starts). When the music stops, the students quickly move to the closest spot. At that point, they show the number, letter, or shape that the teacher is holding up or calls out.
• Give students sufficient time to finish–this of course will vary with age, and repeat with a new locomotor skill and new number, letter, or shape. Directions and pathways can be added as appropriate.

Variations:

• Use the first letter of whatever locomotor skill was just used.
• Ropes can be placed at each spot, and children can practice making numbers, letters, or shapes with the rope instead of writing them.

Challenges: –

• Different locomotor skills skipping, hopping, galloping, walking…..etc.
• Reinforce them all time about the boundaries and general space. So that children get hang out with it.

 Wrap-up (2 minutes)

1. What do you mean by general space? Can anyone give me an example?
2. Ask them about the boundaries?
