Striking with Implements!

Last month’s P.E. was a very unique time for the kids. The children were all learning how to strike with a variety of implements in April.

Striking with Implements is a fundamental motor skill that uses a swinging pattern in horizontal or vertical planes with the use of a long implement. The implements used to accomplish these swings vary from bats to hockey sticks to golf clubs to polo sticks, yet all focus on the underlying challenge of coordinating hands and eyes when striking with a long implement.

All the children in P.E. had the opportunity to explore, try out, and play awesome games using different implements:

• Hockey Sticks
• Bats
• Golf Clubs
• Tennis Racquets
• Lacrosse Sticks
• Badminton Racquets
• Pool Noodles
• Ping Pong Paddles
