Introductory Message
Welcome to TVL 11 – HE (Caregiving)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative

efforts of the Schools Division of Sagay and DepEd Regional Office VI-
Western Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division
(CLMD). This is developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and
responsible adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TVL 11 – HE (Caregiving) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This
will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The TVL 11 – HE (Caregiving) Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities
and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Providing experience to support physical development of children

I. Learning Competency
LO 3. Provide experience to support physical development of children
3.1 Perform indoor and outdoor activities which will develop and enhance physical
fitness

II. Background Information for Learners

Experiences That Will Target Specific Areas Of Development

Children naturally have a lot of energy, but several issues threaten the stamina of
many children around the world. Failure to exercise is a primary cause. Another
contributing factor is bad eating habits. Here are some ways to improve a child’s
stamina. Preschoolers should engage in physical activity, whether indoors or outdoors,
for at least 60 minutes each day.

1. Perform calisthenics and other simple workout exercises with children. These can be
done in just 10 to 15 minutes a day. Jumping jacks, stretching and jogging (even
jogging in place) are ways to improve stamina and ultimately physical fitness. Best of
all, these exercises cost little if anything to perform.

2. Purchase basic exercise equipment for children. A variety of equipment exists that is
both designed for children and easy to use. A jump rope is a great place to start. It’s
affordable, easy to use and works a wide range of muscles. Sports equipment such
as a basketball, a football or a baseball and two gloves can serve as popular pieces
of sports equipment that could keep your child busy for hours. A bicycle is another
item that will improve stamina if used regularly.

3. Take children outside to walk or participate in other activities. Look into recreational
sports leagues such as soccer, flag football, baseball and softball. Team sports have
a number of positives, including keeping your child active and giving them a social
environment.

4. Provide healthy meals. Healthy eating—including plenty of fruits, vegetables and

multigrain will go a long way toward improving a child’s stamina. Make sure the child
drinks plenty of water and limit carbonated fructose heavy beverages.
5. Provide children with opportunities to engage in pretend play in your dress-up area;
use blocks or other items from nature to build or balance objects in the block area;
draw or write using different materials in the art or writing center; explore and

 manipulate various items and textures in the discovery center; listen, watch the
screen, or direct the mouse in a listening center or computer center; explore different
textures, scents, colors, or sizes in a sensory center.
6. Encourage children to role play parts of a story or to pretend to be story characters
and imitate their movements and sounds.
7. Ask children to walk, crabwalk, or hop to where they need to be, making sure above
all that they are being safe.
8. Provide a variety of fun activities, such as riding tricycles, playing tag, scavenger
hunt games, balancing games, changing direction games, obstacle course, follow
the leader, dancing, freeze tag, or parachute games.
9. Encourage children to work together to create their own games and activities.
10. Model enjoyment for physical activity outdoors by joining children in play, running,
dancing, games, or other activities.
