Continued development in physical education can include activities that focus on body awareness, such as yoga or dance. Gross motor skills can be developed through activities such as running, jumping, and climbing. Oral motor skills can be developed through activities such as blowing bubbles or playing with straws. Encouraging imaginative play can also help with overall physical development.
