Movement Skills Stations

A kiwi recovery team is moving supplies safely around a habitat. Work through the movement stations, then plan a safe route for the team. Move at a pace that feels safe for you; walking is always an option.

Read the mission

Hugo and Levi need to carry a lightweight food parcel to a ranger without disturbing the kiwi habitat. First, they travel around cones with controlled steps. Next, they jump over low markers and land softly with bent knees. They follow a line using a steady skip or step pattern, then walk heel-to-toe along a wide line while keeping their eyes forward. They take turns, leave space between movers and stop if the route is blocked.

1.At Station 1, Hugo travels around cones without touching them. Which movement skill is he practising most directly?

Zigzag running or walking
Throwing
Swimming
Catching

2.At Station 2, Levi jumps over a low marker. Choose the safest way to land.

Land softly on two feet with knees bent
Land stiff-legged with straight knees
Turn your back before landing
Push another mover out of the way

3.Write the station numbers in the order the team visits them, from start to finish.

4.The team should leave space between movers so they do not collide.

Station 2: cross low markers
Station 3: move in a steady rhythm
Station 4: travel along a wide line

Zigzag running or walking

6.Nathan reaches Station 4 while another mover is still on the line. What should Nathan do, and why?

7.Which cue best helps a mover balance along the wide line?

Keep eyes forward and take controlled steps
Look at the ceiling and rush
Close your eyes
Swing into someone else’s space

8.Choose two movements from the mission and describe how you would join them safely to carry a lightweight parcel.

9.Why does the team take turns and move carefully in the kiwi habitat? Give one reason.

10.Invent one extra movement station for the recovery team. Name the movement, describe a safe way to do it, and say what equipment (if any) is needed.
