MSD Motor Skills
Development targeted at 3
years old Nursery level

Activity Plan
Title of Learning Experience:
Motor skills development
Date: Duration:
Age group / level: 3 Years Number of Children: 50
Fundamental Movement Skills and Concepts:
The fundamental movement skills and concepts hold huge importance for children overall
physical development. Learning experience, within plan will be also heading focus towards
developing optimum functional improvement in movement skills which enhances productive
strength to diversely make children active in physical strength (Bolger and et.al, 2021).
1) Running: Children movement skill need to be improved on towards proper running, where
it enables to develop physical muscular and bones strength. Running also makes nursery
children proactive towards various games playing, makes them active for improvised
efficiency levels for other fundamental movement skills.
2)Jumping: Another essential skill essential for children development is jumping and
hopping, where movement analysed is very quick and also requires quick movements. This has
been also found to be crucial for improvised physical strength and abilities to improvise
physical strength. Jumping will enhance motor skill development learning, and indulge in new
extended physical strength building exercise.
3) Galloping: This is another essential motor skill, combined with student ability to take active
participation in games and playful activities within physical wellbeing. Galloping also means
running, where it strengthens aptitude towards playful recreational activities and makes
children strong.
Objectives (Integration with one other Learning Area): Children will be able to …
(Maximum 4 objectives)
1) Children will be able to grasp effective learning experience, by integrating functional motor
skills development activities which extensively improvises new determined vision for faster
overall learning experience (Brian and et.al, 2021). The childhood activities among motor skill

development, further also retains optimum grasp of creative engagement with other children
and also signifies faster dynamics within physical wellbeing.
2) Children small muscles within hands, fingers and thumbs are improved further when taking
part in motor skill development activities. This helps children perform active play games in
grasping toys, buttoning and zipping clothes along with drawing and writing.
3) Moto skill games among children are also crucial for developing confidence, learning
capabilities and cognitive aiding in evolving self –confidence along with hand eye
coordination. It also gives children sense of their own capabilities potentially by taking active
learning lessons. This will also further improvise extended improvement, on within proper
learning activities and enhance optimum goals for improvised experience.
4) Children will be able to further extensively learn about new games, physically strengthen up
their performance for operative wellness variedly towards improved abilities. By taking up
learning in motor skill development, children will be able to develop untapped new learnings
worked on profoundly.
Space, equipment/ materials and set up
The soft flooring and cushions, floor mirrors and fixed furniture with rounded edges along
with large soft toys, things to feel and explore have been taken as the specific instruments for
motor skills development among children. Soft flooring and mats will be there for all children,
to be comfortable while playing games and take up active participation in various games.
Space will be highly hygienic, and given with specific focus on extended determined
parameters based on specific scale functional optimal pace. It can be also analysed that

also be indulged in creative games under supervision.
The nursery children as are of 3 years’ age and low, will be given specific clean instruments
and toys for playing games and taking part in activities (Formenti and et.al, 2021). Place will
be ventilated, open for children as it will enable children to enjoy the place while learning
about new activities. This will also enable children to play in open space, and be comfortable
with place environment. Motor skills development will be given to children in spacious
environment, which will enable nursery children to be comfortable and adopt towards new

changes actively. It can be also analysed that space, materials and toys which will be given to
children will be completely sanitised and clean to make sure that there is less risk for any
health concerns.
Details of Learning Experience: (include transitions and suggested questions in each
section below)
Warm up activity (duration):
1) Children will be taking up warm up activities of half hour before motor skill development
games, and indulge in various relaxation flexibility building warm up activities. As duration is
also important, children warm up activities such as push ups, pull ups and jumping jacks, knee
lunges makes children strong and increase their interest in activities. Duration of warm up
activities will be also of specifically focused on to increase children involvement, and
determine optimum learning experience.
2) Warm up activities such as sit ups, and breathing exercises will also be included within
activities to further indulge in various strength building motor development games and
activities. It will also be done, by further extending new scale advancement in warm up
activities for all children to further enhance optimum engagement profoundly among nursery
age group children. The warm up activities will be also specifically focusing to bring extended
new learning recreational games, for optimum extended functional growth which will

painting, play dough and putty and playing with sponges. The activities will be of 30 minutes
each which will create engagement and creative energies evolve among children from
beginning of the activities. In between of various activities, children will be given 10 minutes
break where they will be given healthy fruits juices to be refreshed quickly. It will also enable
children to enjoy during motor skills development, and engage in activities where they require
quick thinking engagement (Perreault and et.al, 2021).
2) For children with higher level of skills, will be indulged in various other activities such as
rice races, gardening and planting, water plays which will enable children to learn about new

concepts and playful activities. Duration of all activities will be half an hour each, which will
enable children to properly learn about motor skills development and indulge in creative
exercises. In between break children will be served with fresh fruits juices to replenish and be
active within play and motor skill development games. This will also make children creatively
engaged on during main activities, engage on towards various games and ideally enjoy their
activities with full enthusiasm.
Cool down activity and closure (duration):
1) BEACH TIME: Children will be given beach time to relax and cool down as closure
