1 ✨ Spark

Can you hop on one foot and clap at the same time? What makes it hard?

Think about this for a moment before you start.

2 🧊 3D Explore

Turn the scene, tap the objects and answer. Easy, Medium and Challenge are the three checkpoints.

3 📖 Explain

Movement skills include running, jumping, hopping, skipping, throwing, catching and balancing. Coordination means making different body parts work together, like eyes and hands when you catch a ball.

Warm up before playing and cool down after. Practising a little every day makes movements smooth and strong.

🇮🇳 Example from India

In lagori (seven stones), children throw a ball to knock the stones, run, dodge and rebuild the pile: throwing, running and balancing together.

⚠️ Common mistake

✗ Only sportspeople need movement skills.
✓ Everyone uses them every day: climbing stairs, carrying bags and playing.

📒 Glossary

coordination: body parts working together
balance: staying steady without falling
warm-up: gentle movement before exercise
