Locomotor skills<br />

The order in which locomotor skills develop is crawl, walk, run, jump, leap, gallop, hop, side slide<br />

and then skip 22 .<br />

Summary description<br />

Crawl 22<br />

It is the action of transferring weight from one opposing<br />

set of knee and hand (e.g. left knee and right hand)<br />

contact with the ground whilst the other knee and hand<br />

leave the ground to move forward.<br />

• Opposite arm, opposite leg action<br />

• <strong>Move</strong>ment is forward rather than backward<br />
