Development of the lesson: (15 mins) Teacher asks learners, in the exercises we just performed, at some time you move your body while changing position (e.g jogging - teacher should recap learners that they have learnt that jogging is an example of locomotor movement), at another time you move your body while in the same position (e.g stretching). What kind of movement do you think this will be called?

The teacher writes learners comments on the board.		 Learners expected to respond.
Non-locomotor movement		 Developing the idea of the concept of the topic, Non-locomotor movements.
The teacher asks learners to act and list other types of exercises they can perform while still in the same position, that is, without moving from one place to another.

The Teacher may give learners a prompt (by twisting, bending, stretching, pushing, turning, shaking his body) and get learners to discuss their views in group activities.

Alternatively, the teacher may display pictures/posters on non-locomotor movements or pictures on learners textbook and asks learners to describe and list what they see in the pictures.
