1. Task one: Reflection.

2. Task two: Object Control Skills Part B Worksheet.

TASK A –REFLECTION

1. Consider the activities/games that you have utilized so far during the past four labs. Were they appropriate for the students at St. Mary’s? Why or why not?

Yes, depending on what age group I was dealing with I tried to match up with games or activities I had the kids do. For example, with the 6th graders I played more sports games like speed ball and soccer to keep them interested. With the younger kids, I played more tag like games which they seemed to love. I believe keeping the children interested in the activities we do is key to make everything flow smoothly.

2. What might be some limitations to games or activities when using them in the process of assessing motor skills?

My group ran into a problem due to the fact we couldn’t get the children very interested in what activity we were doing with them. Also some of the group mates changed their whole activity and for some reason we ended up having more dribbling activities than kicking activities. The games we play also need to guarantee all the children perform the assessing motor skill to ensure the skill gets accessed.
