The emphasis is on how students move with one another in space. Students learn to work cooperatively with a partner. They learn to demonstrate the qualities of movement (space, time, force, flow, levels, directions, and pathways) as they perform a variety of fundamental locomotor (running, hopping, skipping, jumping, leading, sliding, galloping) and nonlocomotor (bending, twisting, turning, rocking, swaying, balancing, stretching, pushing, and pulling) skills. Students learn to manipulate objects with a partner (throwing, catching, striking, kicking, bouncing, and rolling), fitness concepts, a variety of fitness development exercises, and playground rules related to the use of equipment, safety and games.
