Lesson Summary

You will learn to design and complete a parkour performance using different obstacles.

Key Notes

• Move: linking movements together seamlessly requires spatial awareness, momentum and good body control.
• Think: good decision making skills are required to choose the best movements to link together to create a sequence.
• Feel: completing challenging sequences helps you believe in your ability and develop confidence.
• Connect: working together and supporting each other developing sequences involves communication and respect.

Vocabulary To Learn

• route: a sequence of movements used to travel through/over obstacles, combining skill, creativity and efficiency
• sequence: a series of linked movements performed one after the other to travel through an environment smoothly and efficiently
