Movement Concepts
Movement Concepts include everything from the direction to move in, how much force to use, spatial awareness, to how to control your body while in motion. By mastering these concepts, children can expand their movement experiences to become more competent and confident movers with improved competency and coordination.
Movement concepts enhance movement experiences by creating hundreds of variations of a skill. They can be grouped into four categories: Body Awareness, Effort Awareness, Space Awareness, and Relationship Awareness.
