This is the Physical Education Grade 6 Quarter 4 Module 3 self-learning module, Physical Fitness for Folk Dance (Tinikling): An Enhanced Understanding. It was published in 2020 by DepEd Region VI under the Alternative Delivery Mode. It introduces Grade 6 learners to the Tinikling, a Philippine folk dance from Leyte that imitates the Tikling bird. Learners study its background and basic steps, then perform the dance and assess their own performance.
What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Execute the different skills involved in the dance (PE6RD-IVc-h-4)
- Display joy of effort and respect for others during participation in physical activities (PE6PF-Vlb-h-20)
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 5 – Tinikling: Historical Background, Costume, and Dance Props. Explains where the Tinikling came from, what it imitates, the costumes worn, and the equipment used.
- Lesson 6 – Tinikling Dance Steps. Covers the basic steps of the dance, which learners practice, perform, and record.
About the Tinikling
The Tinikling started in Leyte. It was once danced between two long pestles, and today it is usually shown with two long bamboo poles held by two people kneeling at the ends. It is an imitative dance: it copies the movements of Tikling birds as they play and chase each other, which is how it got its name.
The pretest and assessment also test a few facts from the lesson. Based on the module’s answer key:
- The older version of the Tinikling is called Tinikling Ha Bayo.
- The dance is usually performed by both a man and a woman.
- The girls’ costume is the patadyong, kimona, and a panuelo over one shoulder.
Basic Tinikling dance steps
The module describes these steps, which learners practice with help from parents, older siblings, or friends who know folk dancing:
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| Hop | Spring from one foot and land on the same foot, in place or in any direction. The other foot may be raised in front, in rear, sideward, or across. |
| Leap | Spring from one foot and land on the other foot in any direction (forward, sideward, backward, or oblique). |
| Place | Put a foot in a desired position without putting weight on it. The sole rests on the floor. |
| Waltz | Step R (L) foot, close L (R) foot to the right, step R (L) in place (step, close, step). |
| Tap | Rap lightly with the ball or toe of the free foot, flexing the ankle, while the body’s weight stays on the other foot. There is no transfer of weight. |
| Kuradang | Step R (L) foot sideward right (count 1), close L (R) foot to the right foot (count 2), step R (L) foot and close the left foot (count 3). |
The tests also define cut: quickly displacing one foot with the other, taking the body’s weight completely off the displaced foot.
Safety before dancing
Before any physical activity, learners answer the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). It asks about heart conditions, chest pain, dizziness, bone or joint problems, and medications, and a guardian signs it. The module then lists safety reminders:
- Wear proper dance attire and use a spacious area without barriers.
- Warm up and stretch thoroughly before dancing, and cool down and stretch again after.
- Consult your teacher or doctor first if you have a foot, ankle, or lower back problem or injury.
- Drink enough water before, during, and after dancing.
- Do not push yourself too far or too fast, especially as a beginner.
- Focus on correct posture and technique so you do not twist your body or strain a muscle.
- Rest enough between dance sessions to reduce soreness.
The warm-up has nine exercises done for 8 counts each: neck bending, forearm stretch circling, triceps stretch, wrist circling, extended arm circling, hip circling, side bending, knee circling, and foot rotation.
Activities and scoring
Activity 1: Dance Self-Assessment
Learners rate ten statements about their dancing, such as moving in time to the music and performing with confidence and control. Each statement is rated Satisfied (5 points), Neutral (3 points), or Unsatisfied (1 point).
| Total score | Rating |
|---|---|
| 40 to 50 points | Outstanding |
| 25 to 39 points | Very good |
| 10 to 24 points | Good |
| 1 to 9 points | Needs more practice |
Activity 2: Dance Video Performance
Learners perform the Tinikling steps and record a video. They may edit it with any video editor and use the suggested Tinikling music from the module. They are encouraged to wear the prescribed costume. The video is sent through the teacher’s assigned online platform and scored out of 30 points:
| Criteria | Points |
|---|---|
| Mastery and Execution | 10 |
| Visual Appeal/Impact | 10 |
| Creativity | 5 |
| Costume and Props | 5 |
How to use this module
- Learners: Start with the 10-item pretest (What I Know) to check what you already know. Then answer the PAR-Q, read the safety reminders, warm up, and practice the steps. Finish both activities and the final assessment. Write your answers on a separate sheet, not on the module.
- Parents: Help your child practice the steps safely in an open space, sign the PAR-Q as guardian, and help record the dance video if you can.
- Teachers: Tell learners where to submit their videos. Note that both dance activities are scored by rubric, since the answer key says answers vary by performance.
