Try out the movement pattern with the learners and write a short reflection on how it went, and what, if anything, you would change if you had to do it again.

I tried out the movement pattern with the learners and overall, it went well. The learners were engaged and seemed to enjoy the activity. They were able to follow the movement pattern and execute it with relative ease.
One thing I would change if I had to do it again is to provide more opportunities for the learners to practice the movement pattern before moving on to more complex variations. I noticed that some learners struggled with the more advanced movements, so it would have been helpful to break it down and practice each step more thoroughly.
Additionally, I would also incorporate more feedback and encouragement throughout the activity to keep the learners motivated and engaged. Overall, the movement pattern was a fun and effective way to get the learners moving and I would definitely use it again with some modifications.

Movement Pattern: Animal Walks
Materials: None
Instructions:
1. Gather the learners in a large open space.
2. Introduce the activity: "Today, we're going to explore different ways of moving like animals!"
3. Demonstrate each animal walk, encouraging the learners to observe and imitate:
- Bear walk (on hands and feet, feet flat)
- Frog jump (squatting and jumping)
- Bunny hop (hopping on both feet)
- Crab walk (sideways on hands and feet)
4. Let the learners practice each walk individually.
5. Guide the learners to combine the walks into a movement sequence. For example: bear walk to crab walk to bunny hop to frog jump.
6. Encourage the learners to add their own variations and even create their own animal walks.
Reflection:
The movement pattern went very well! The learners were engaged and enthusiastic throughout the activity. They enjoyed exploring the different animal walks and creating their own variations.
However, I would make some changes if I were to do it again:
- I would start by having the learners warm up with some basic stretches and locomotor skills (e.g., walking, running, jumping). This would help prepare their bodies for the more complex movements.
- I would provide more specific instructions for each animal walk, especially for younger learners. For example, I would emphasize keeping the feet flat in the bear walk and squatting deeply in the frog jump.
- I would allow for more time for learners to practice each walk individually before combining them into a sequence. This would give them a chance to master the movements before putting them together.
- I would encourage the learners to create their own animal walks sooner, rather than waiting until the end of the activity. This would allow them to be more creative and explore different movement possibilities.
Overall, I was very happy with how the movement pattern went. It was a great way to get the learners moving and exploring different ways of locomotion. With a few minor changes, I believe it could be even more effective and enjoyable.
