Activity Description
Today we are going to learn how to gallop, just like a horse! Demonstrates how to gallop: USE RELEVANT SKILL CARDS In galloping, you step forward with one foot that is always your “lead” foot. The toes of your back foot chase the heel of your lead foot, like skipping. Both feet leave the ground, and you land on your back foot, followed by your lead foot. When galloping, point both feet forward. Arms swing forward at the same time the back foot moves forward. Head up and look forward. Practice: Ask children to gallop in a line to the opposite side of the activity space. Gallop alongside any children who have difficulty (model the movement). With a partner, children spread out around the activity space and practice the “step-toe-to-heel” pattern. Invite children to gallop and work together to make shapes as they gallop (circle, figure eight, triangle). Following a line on the floor, the leader should encourage children to try galloping with opposite foot leading.
