Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 5-6 years old, children have developed the necessary motor skills to engage in true skipping, which involves alternating hopping and skipping on one foot. Option B is incorrect because throwing and catching with a rigid upper body is an incorrect technique that would need to be corrected. Option C may be seen at this age, but it is not necessarily a universal skill. Option D is an incorrect technique for catching a ball, as the ideal technique involves using the hands and arms to catch the ball out in front of the body, rather than against the chest.
