Pretend you are the director of an Early Childhood Center. Describe a movement activity that you want your employees to do with a specific age group of students.

·       This activity must be open-ended which means that it is focused on process not product. If the students are told exactly what to do and when to do it, the activity is not open-ended. 

·       The activity you describe must promote creative responses while helping students increase their motor proficiency.

When you describe the activity, be sure to identify the age group. Make sure you explain clearly to your employees how to do this activity so that they can teach it to their students. Express to your students why you want them to teach it.

Make sure that your responses to you classmates include changes, additions, or suggestions of what they might add to their chosen activities.
