RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT IN PE CURRICULUM � Rhythmic Movement: mvmt in time to sound � Dance: moving rhythmically usually to music during prescribed steps & gestures � Typically done in dance but can be in game form

PROGRESSION FOR RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT TEACHING � Develop basic 4 count beat � Move in time to a beat � Create own sequences � Non-locomotor & locomotor movements then add music

PROGRESSION FOR RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT TEACHING � Progress to 3 count beat � Skips, gallops, turns � Progress to line dancing, simple folk dancing � Child-designed rhythmic mvmt dances

HOW � Clapping, marching in place then progress to moving in rhythm � Equipment

ACTIONS • Non-locomotor � • Jump, turn, wiggle, kick, bounce, stomp, etc Locomotor � Walk, run, skip, hop, leap, gallop � Shapes � Direction � Path

ADDING PROPS � Addition of hand movements � Instruments, hankerchief, hoops, ribbons, scarves, balls, etc. � Used so learners not have to hold hands

MUSIC � If in question, do not use � Children music selection, oldies � Tempo fit range of speed commonly 64 -128 beats � 4 beat count easiest � Be careful of new music

EXPANDING RHYTHM SKILLS � After mastered 4 count beat to music, use non locomotor & locomotor skills � Progress to 3 count beat & moving to 8 th note � Listen to accents to determine counts � Move on ½ counts – strike hands on hips then move hands out

RHYTHMIC SKILLS WITH MUSIC � Introduce music After learners able to move in solid count � Moving on every 8 th count get HR up � Line dancing: easy to learn � Tinkling – rhythmic activity involves individuals or pairs jumping between or standing outside 2 long poles

RHYTHMIC SKILLS WITH MUSIC � Folk Dancing – originated among ordinary people & integral to their culture � Ethnic groups, rural or urban

DANCING � Challenges – learn steps yourself then teach others � Rhythmic dance scripts – design own dance scripts � Embarrassment in front of others
