Active Review

Physical literacy is defines by Dr. Margaret Whitehead (Founder of the International Physical Literacy Association – IPLA), as “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.” The following quiz has been developed to help you create awareness on the affective, cognitive and physical  domains in participants.

To conduct the quiz in tune with the principle of physical literacy, assign a movement for each of the answer options – viz., jumping jacks for ‘a’, cross crawl for ‘b’, windmill for ‘c’ and squat for ‘d’.

Read out each question and let the students choose the appropriate answer by performing the specified movement.

Keep grouping the students into two segments such that one group will have only those student who chose option ‘d’ to all the questions. Try to inspire all the students to ultimately fall under this category.
