What to have No additional materials are needed for this activity.
What to do Although sitting may be a skill primary grade students have long since mastered, it can still be a challenging activity when explored at a variety of levels, especially with the additional movement elements of time and force. Explain this to the children, and then present the following challenges: - Sit from a standing position, using your hands to let you down. - Do it again, only this time without using your hands. - Sit down very slowly. - Sit with a thump. - Sit with the weight on your right (left) thigh.
Why Child will demonstrate the control it takes to perform the tasks. The child demonstrates understanding for what is expected.
