One characteristic of a physically literate person is having the motor skills and movement patterns to
participate in a variety of physical activities. The activities in this session will allow you to explore your
physical literacy based on a number of self-assessments, drills, and challenges.

Instructions
1. Following each activity station, take a minute to do the following:
a. Indicate your rating of perceived exertion (RPE) for the activity.
b. Indicate your feelings about the activity using the scale provided (circle one of the faces).
c. If possible, record a rating on the activity based on your score.
2. At the end of class you will be given time to answer the reflection questions.

How to Use the RPE Scale

RPE is rated on a scale from 0 to 10. A rating of 0 would be like sitting in a chair and reading. A rating of
10 is equivalent to the hardest exercise you have ever done (e.g., like sprinting up a long and steep hill
as fast as you can until exhaustion). A good RPE range for most people is between 3 and 5. A rating of 5
would be something that gets your heart rate up, but you can continue for a long time without too much
problem.

Reflection Questions
1. What was (were) your favorite station(s)? Why?
The wall toss was my favorite stattion because it involved the most hand-
eye coordination. It was not super exhausting but still required LOTS of concentration to do w
ell. I could have kept doing that station for a long time because it was super fun.

2. Based on the activities today, what were some of your strengths?

My strengths are in speed and hand-eye coordination. 

3. What were some of your weaknesses?

My weaknesses are in balance and foot skills. I did not perform well on balance stations or wit
h the soccer ball.

4. Describe how your activity choices match your strengths and weaknesses on these movement
skills.
I tended to choose activities that matched my strengths. Hand-
eye coordination activities were my favorite, as well as speed and running activities.

5. On a scale from 1 to 10,* where are you with these movement skills for physical literacy?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
*Scale interpretation: 1 = had difficulty with most skills; 5 = some skills were difficult and some
were easy; 10 = was able to perform most skills easily

6. Discuss the reasons why you gave yourself the physical literacy rating in question 5.
Because I was rarely in the "poor" section of the fitness ratings, and I was able to complete all 
of the activities with little effort.
