What activities/sports are optimal in developing body awareness in preschoolerschildren age 4-5?

I believe any physical activity a toddlerchild age 1-3 finds interesting is great for developing body awareness. Tag, throwing balls, running around the house, jumping, rolling around, wrestling, dancing... and we do them all.

As they grow into preschoolershit ages 4 and up officially organized options becomestart becoming available. My thought is that they should try everything possible, if interested, to find their favorites.

However, I'd like to start with activities more suited to general body awareness and coordination. What are some of the best? My current thought is gymnastics or karate.
