By Rae Pica 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. Before You Start Explain nonlocomotor skills to the children, as described above. Let's Begin 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 parts 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. Furthermore How many 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!   Tweet No materials required. The Body Builder Body Banner Articles and activities listed on this website may be printed for single use.
