Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners jog within demarcated area with their hands stretched sideways to imitate a flying bird to warm their body up. Demonstrate to learners how to walk with arms stretched sideways from one point to the other. Guide learners to walk with their hands stretched sideways as individuals and in a group but progress at their own pace. Observe them practice and give them feedback for motivation and correct mastery of skill.
Mark lines on the ground and let learners walk on them make the active challenging and to prevent boredom. Guide learners to cool down to end the lesson.
