Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners go through general and specific warm ups. Lead them to identify the pathways such as straight, curved, and zigzag. Mark these pathways and guide them to move through walking, and running, etc. Allow the advance learners to help others as well as progress into the next skill of interest.
