Lesson 7: SHAPES ON HOLD
You have already learned and formed shapes by using body
parts. You will now learn about two different kinds of shapes. Are
you ready to start?
Note: Your teacher will assist you in every activity
Look and study the illustration. Then answer the questions.
A B
1. What can you say about the pictures?
2. Can you describe the movements in the picture?
3. What body parts were used as a base support?
4. Can you perform these movements?
You have just seen two different kinds of shape and positions.
The one on the right is an asymmetrical shape while the one on
the left is a symmetrical shape.
Picture A shows balance. When you divide it in the middle,
both sides form identical shapes. That is why it is called
Symmetrical.

44. 44
Picture B shows uneven balance. When you cut it at the
middle the two sides form different shape that is why it is called
Asymmetrical
Before you start participating in the activities, do a simple
warm-up to prepare your body and prevent any injury.
