| Nonlocomotor movements are performed with the body remaining in one spot. All can be executed with the body as a whole, but there are also a number of body parts that can execute these skills. |

 Explain nonlocomotor skills to the children, as described above.
|
| |
|
|
1. Start by asking the children to show you how the whole body performs each skill in the following list.
2. Then ask them to find out how many body [i]parts[/i] can also perform them. Allow enough time for the children to amply experiment with each skill. The nonlocomotor skills can include: shaking, bending, stretching, twisting and swinging.

|
| [i]How many[/i] is a mathematics concept. To further pursue it, give each child a piece of paper and a pencil so they can write down how many body parts are capable of performing each nonlocomotor skill. Compare and contrast their results! |
