Movement Skills Relay Challenge

Charlotte, Wiremu and Isla are planning a relay for their sailing club. Work through each challenge using movement-skill knowledge, teamwork and reflection. If you try any movement activities, use a clear, safe space and follow your teacher’s instructions.

Plan the relay

Think about control, coordination and communicating clearly—not just speed.

1.Charlotte is moving towards a partner who will toss her a soft ball. Which action is most likely to help her catch it successfully?

Keep her eyes on the ball and prepare her hands in front of her body
Look at the finish line and hold her arms behind her
Run as fast as possible with her hands at her sides
Turn away just before the ball arrives

2.Wiremu carries a beanbag along a wide, low balance line. Name two techniques that could help him stay steady.

3.The team keeps dropping the baton during handovers. Suggest one clear communication cue and one movement adjustment they could practise.

4.Isla has to weave around cones, stop inside a marked zone and then throw a beanbag into a bucket. Which sequence best describes the movement skills she uses?

Locomotor movement, controlled stopping, then object control
Object control, balancing, then locomotor movement
Only locomotor movement
Only balance and flexibility

5.A teammate misses a catch and looks disappointed. What is a helpful response that supports the team and helps the next attempt?

Solve the course challenge

The relay course has four stations. Use the course plan to answer the next questions.

Station 1 Jog around 3 cones, keeping space from others.

Station 2 Walk heel-to-toe along a low, wide line while carrying a beanbag.

Station 3 Move to a partner and catch a soft ball from a gentle underarm toss.

Station 4 Stop inside a marked zone, then throw a beanbag towards a large target.

6.Which station focuses most directly on balance while moving? Explain how you know.

7.At Station 3, the ball arrives slightly to one side. What could the catcher do to adjust safely and improve the chance of catching it?

8.True or false: At Station 1, the best way to improve is to cut sharply around cones even if another runner is close.

TrueFalse

Reflect and set a goal

Use specific examples from the relay plan. Your reflections can differ; the answers below are examples of strong responses.

9.Choose one station and explain one change that could make it easier for a beginner and one change that could make it more challenging while keeping it safe.

10.Write one specific movement-skill goal for your next practice. Include the skill, what you will practise, and how you will know you are improving.
