Kindergarten Physical Education Curriculum
Kindergarten
Developing fundamental movement patterns is the primary focus of the kindergarten physical education curriculum. Children will be at various levels of maturity across all skills and should demonstrate continuous improvement in movement under very simple conditions. While developing fundamental skill patterns, the students will begin to learn key movement concepts that help them perform in a variety of educational games, educational dances, and educational gymnastics. They will learn how their bodies react to vigorous physical activity. Students will learn to use safe practices, cooperate with and respect others, and follow classroom rules. Experiences in physical education will help them develop a positive attitude for leading …show more content…

    Also, physical activity increases self-confidence and promotes healthy weight. Therefore, active movement environments should be combined with well-structured gymnastics and swimming programs, for example. This stage states that children should not be sedentary for more than 60 minutes, except when they are sleeping. Also, fitness and general movement skills are developed in Active Start. This stage focuses on learning proper movement skills, for example, running, jumping, wheeling, twisting, kicking, throwing, and catching.

    identify the requirementsof current frameworks for outdoor accessand regular exercise for children

    In the EYFS physical development involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices in relation to food. In the national curriculum children undertake regular exercise known as P.E. By the end of key stage 1 children should be able to run, jump, throw and catch as well as develop the necessary skills to balance and coordinate. By key stage 2 children should be working towards using these skills and developing them further, learning how to use them in different ways.…

Children learn by doing things and trying sports and activities help them to gain confidence as well as helping them to socialise with their peers.

    Kindergarten Mandated Curriculum

    In regards to the newly state-mandated, textbook-based curriculum for Kindergarten, I am apprehensive to the benefits of such said curriculum for children so young. Although textbooks cover lots of information in a given subject they aren’t nearly as effective as age-appropriate literature in their ability to interest children in the area of topic and getting them excited about learning. Kindergarten aged children will most likely see typical textbooks as boring and/or overwhelming. At this age children are at the beginner stage of reading, some may not have any prior reading skills, which advises that textbooks are too far-fetched for their age group.…

    Keeping a Physical Education Active and Alive

    Achieving academic success and building a child’s foundation is one of the most important missions in an elementary school environment. Taking the raw tools and talents each student has and molding those skills into a student is a very challenging task, but one every teacher happily sets in front of themselves every school year. Every subject is like an ingredient that comprises the final product – a successful student – and without having physical education each of the 350 students in the given scenario will be short of what they need to be successful.…

    Motor Skills In Football

    Each of these movements can be broken down into separate components of the actual skill in throwing a football; each are classified differently according to what groups it involves and what is being targeted. The first motor skill is holding the ball; this requires stability and object manipulation. The precision of each movement involves gross motor skills rather than fine motor skills;these gross motor skills are movements that engage your whole body rather than just small movements (Wells). Most motions you make are timed based on your surroundings, throwing a football is self-paced and has its own timer for pulling back, releasing, and following through. There is a natural beginning point (pulling back) and ending point (release and follow through) causing this to be a discrete skill over serial and continuous.…

    Personal Fitness

    Physical educational professionals should be demonstrating and a model of what they teach. Physical educators should value wellness and fitness and continue to do so throughout their respected careers. One professor suggests that the lack of skill and in depth activity content knowledge is a major problem in (PETE) programs and for the future of the physical education profession. There are two major factors that can be credited to this dilemma. The first factor is being an increase emphasis in major curriculums on classroom oriented theory and models at the expense of quality activity and the second factor is the lack of both tactile expertise and skills in many teachers. There is a wide variety of areas that physical educators should have knowledge of which includes the fundamental motor skills, individual and dual activities, team sports, aquatics, gymnastics, and educational dance. These skills are an essential part of the preparation of a physical educator. Every student that is studying to be a physical educator should be able to walk the walk not just talk the talk in other words be a role model for their students.…
