the number of steps as the space demands. Do this exercise with each
girl establishing her own timing. Later the teacher establishes a
common timing derived from the average of the group,

Strong and light. (Objectives 1, 3)

(1) Stand stride position. Strike forecfully forward with right arm,
left arm, and repeat right and left. Rotate the trunk somewhat with
the force of the striking movement and keep the legs and trunk taut
throughout. Now reach forward lightly with the right arm, left arm,
and repeat right and left. Rotate the trunk, letting the shoulder
follow through into the reaching movement. The head should also
follow through. In both strong and iight units of this exercise keep
the weight centered.

Timing: Counte 1, 2, 3, 4, strike right, left, right, left.

Counts 5, 6 reach right
Counts 7, § reach left
Counts 9, 10 reacn right
Counts 11, 12 reach left

Accompaniment:

If using music, ask the accompanist tc improvise L/h
time in three measure phrases. If using music already
written, do 8 instcad of 4 striking movements which will
lengthen the exercise to 16 counts or 4 measures of L/h
‘time thus fitting into the usual 4 measure phrase of
rusic.

(2) Do this exercise using the timing principles suggested in i (a)
above.

(3) Devise patterns of strong and light locomotor movements as well
as other ncn—Locometor movements.

(4) Experiment with strong, small movements and light, large move-
ments and the reverse cf this. Vary the timings of these movements.

(5) Develop a strong, vertical jump from a light, easy bounce, grad-
ually making the bounce stronger anc larger until the body is pro-

pelled intc a low vertical jump; continue to increase the strength of
the movement until the jump is as high and strong as possible for each
girl in the class. Let each girl set her own speed for this exercise.

Fast and slow (Objectives 1 and 3)
