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 />

Hop 4<br />

It involves standing on one foot and lifting off the ground<br />

by leaning slightly on the hopping foot side and moving<br />

the bent arms out and in for balance.<br />

Key points<br />

• Starts with balancing on one leg and bending the<br />

non-support leg<br />

• The non-support leg is swung forward like a<br />

pendulum to produce swing<br />

• The non-support foot is kept behind the body<br />

• Arms are bent and swung to produce the forward<br />

momentum<br />

• Can take off and land at least four consecutive times<br />

on either foot<br />

Summary description<br />

Side Slide 4<br />

It is like a gallop but to the side and with minimal bounce.<br />

Key points<br />

• Body is sideways so the shoulders are aligned with the<br />

line on the floor<br />

• Step sideways with the lead foot and then slide the<br />

trailing foot to a point next to the lead foot<br />

• Can do four or more continuous step-slide cycles to<br />

the right then to the left<br />
