Gross motor activities should be included in a center schedule on a/an —- basis

• A. Daily
• B. Weekly
• C. Monthly
• D. Annually

Answer: (A)

Daily engagement in gross motor activities helps young children develop balance, coordination, and strength through regular, repeated practice. Making movement a daily part of the center schedule gives children consistent opportunities to use large muscles, release energy, and stay engaged in learning throughout the day. If movement were only addressed weekly, monthly, or annually, children would miss important practice and momentum for developing motor skills, which can affect concentration and overall health. Everyday opportunities might include outdoor play, indoor movement games, climbing activities appropriate for their age, dancing, and ball or obstacle course activities. This consistent routine supports physical development and helps children feel confident and ready to learn.
