• Developmentally Appropriate Skills
• Teaching the Dimensions
• Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU)

4
Learning Outcomes

• After this module participants will have an
  understanding of
• What FMS are
• Why they are critical
• The categories of movement skills
• Introduction to skill development
• Activity ideas

5
FMS Defined

• A common motor activity with specific movement
  patterns which form the foundation for more
  advanced and specific movement activities (p.
  253)

  development. Toronto Allyn Bacon

Why Are FMS Important?

• Fundamental Movement Skills
• Are the basic building blocks for the overall
  development of physical literacy
• Are critical for children to become competent in
  sporting activities
• Without them, many children and youth choose to
  withdraw from sport

• Stability skills includes the ability to sense a

• Object manipulation a force given or received

13
FMS Progression

• There is typically a developmental progression
  amongst the skills
• Children must master certain stability skills
  before they can progress onto locomotor skills
  (Stopping involves stability)
• Manipulative skills are generally the last to
  emerge

14
Lets PLAY

• Round Up Locomotor Skills
• Move to the Music Stability Skills
• Clear Out Object Manipulative Skills

15
Conclusion/ Games Debrief

• Fundamental Movement Skills are critical building
  blocks for physical literacy
• There are three categories of fundamental
  movements
• Locomotor
• Stability
• Object manipulation
• There is a developmental progression to when
  these skills begin to emerge
