Time And Space Awareness : Movement In Physical Education (1965)

this lesson has as its objective the encouragement of space awareness and the practice of changes of speed necessary in a game situation hardly got today we're going to be concerned or thinking about two things one is about that space that we use in all of our games and the other is about changing speed when we're playing a game so first of all let's just move through space Stay within our fence move all the way around try not to bump into anyone off you go off you go off you go keep your eyes open eyes open big bag in and out don't forget to use the corners eyes open keep your eyes open go a little bit faster as you can but stay controlled this is very nice all right three good now this time change speed fast medium slow medium fast all the time go ahead foret the midle when you go fast really go fast and then medium and then slow give it a go Gary keep try keep try keep your eyes open we're having some Collision all right just fast this time just fast go go goe and collapse right all right that was very good that time I saw fewer collisions this time than I've seen in a long time let's see if you can do it in a different way Scott up you go and run all over this place all over this place here without touching anybody now go fast okay Greg off you go Jerry Jerry off you go concepts of space awareness and energy conservation through changing speeds are explored and refined by each individual before these elements are used in a game situation Jerry over there run John R can you go faster without collisions good Sarah off you go Ted off you go this is beautiful beautiful oh we almost had one there didn't we go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead freeze all right and rest right down rest right we're going to try this in a game that was very nice having you people move around all those spaces but are you ready to try it in a tag game yes just yes aren't you ready to go oh some are and some aren't well we'll see what happens we'll try this in a game of Buffalo Bill you know how to play the game already let's see who's going to be it first we're going to try this a couple of times how about gregar all right stand on your feet get in a ready position ready all right keep your eyes open off you go watch for your spaces that's it stay right down stay right down alert interaction of individuals to space and speed Concepts to the tagger to those taged is demanded in this game situation open oh come [Music] on see go ahead go ahead eyes open see are you looking through space looking four spaces five four three two one and rest all right all but five for C that's very good get your breath slow easy easy easy easy let's try this one more time I was disappointed in the spaces remember we're thinking about changing speed but we're also also thinking about going through spaces so this time try it one more time and think let's see how many were not caught do you have enough energy Sally to be it she does all right on your feet I got her and I got off you go did you well she said she she said she wasn't so go ahead Sally oh great I mean that's right you were too close oh Marie try to get out of the way eyes open now lesie look where you're going come on there Sally see if you can't [Music] get eyes open good Dodge Brad thank you where are you s the seat good all right you were just rolling and rolling here get all right 5 4 3 2 1 and rest all right good would you just move slowly to the space around Scott some of you are already there slowly slowly easily easily in a space Bob you kind of closed up the spaces there in a space that's it now instead of locking up let me ask a question how many really did look for spaces this second scene really now really all right how did you do it then how did you do it do you know John speak up loudly how did you do it well I was watching where she was then um then I'd look back and see where some spaces were um and in these other spots and mhm Then I then you go to them yeah right all right so he kind of keep his eyes open all the time um did you change speed at all for
