Jumping for Fun! Grade 1 CBC Notes in Kenya

What is Jumping?

Jumping means moving off the ground using your legs. You can jump in different ways: forward, backward, right, or left.

Why is Jumping Important?

Jumping helps make your body strong and agile. It also helps you move better and
have fun!

Ways to Jump:

1. Jumping Forward: Try jumping straight ahead. Imagine you are jumping
   over a big puddle!
2. Jumping Backward: Turn around and jump backward, like you are
   jumping away from something.
3.  Jumping Right and Left: Jump to the right side and then to the left side.
   Pretend you are hopping between two places!

How to Jump Safely:

•  Look Around: Make sure the area is clear and safe for jumping.
• Wear Safe Shoes: Use shoes that help protect your feet.
•  Land Softly: Bend your knees a little when you land to avoid hurting yourself.

Fun Activities:

1. Jump High: See how high you can jump. Imagine you are reaching for a balloon in the sky!
2. Jump Far: Try jumping as far as you can. Pretend you are jumping from one lily pad to another!

Making Jumping Fun:

• Use Objects: You can use things like ropes or small sticks to jump over. These are your jumping helpers!
•  Sing Songs: While you jump, sing a happy song. It makes jumping even more fun!
  Practice with Friends:
• Jump Together: Practice jumping with your friends. See who can jump the farthest or highest!
• Share: Talk about how you jumped and see how your friends are jumping too.
  Enjoy your jumping time and remember to always be safe while having fun!
