Introduction

Physical Education is an integral part of the total education of every child from kindergarten

through grade 12. Physical Education instruction provides a positive impact that can help

students achieve in all curricular areas. Through this curriculum, students will build character,

communication, decision-making, motor, and fitness skills that can be transferred to all other

subject areas.

The physical education curriculum, written to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content

Standards, addresses various components of physical education instruction that build from year

to year. Each curricular unit includes interdisciplinary and technology connections to bridge

learning in various content areas. While some of the skills are repeated at various grade levels,

the content grows and addresses the students’ needs at each level.

Physical Education Grade: Kindergarten

Unit 1:

Locomotor Skills

Summary and Rationale

Locomotor skills form the foundation of gross motor coordination and involve large muscle movement.

They are a group of movements in which the feet move the body from one place to another. Kindergarten

students will perform locomotor skills including, hopping, galloping, running, sliding, and skipping while

maintaining balance.

Suggested Resources Activities:

Soap Bubbles

Using a specified locomotor movement identified by the teacher, students will move in general space with

control. Each student will pretend that they are a “bubble”, traveling in their own personal space. Students

who “pop” someone’s bubble (tagging another student) will go to the designated re-entry zone to perform

a re-entry task and then return to the game.

Pathways

Move and Stop – students perform a movement and stop on various cues

Unit 2:

Movement Concepts


This unit builds on the previous unit of movement skills. Movement concepts are how we change or vary

movement skills. Movement concepts develop three categories of awareness:

1. Effort awareness – the muscular effort to produce, sustain, stop and regulate a movement

2. Space awareness – an understanding of personal space and general space and to move safely within space

3. Body awareness – deals with the relationship created between the mover and other movers, and between

mover and objects

Unit 4:

Manipulative Skills

Throwing and Catching


Manipulative skills are those that involve control of an object such as a ball, beanbag, hoop, rope, ribbon and

frisbee. Most of these skills involve the hand and feet but other parts of the body can be used. Manipulative skills

develop hand-eye and foot-eye coordination which are particularly important for tracking objects in space.

Manipulative skills include throwing, catching, kicking, and trapping, striking, volleying, rolling, and dribbling.

They are referred to as complex motor skills. Competence in manipulative skills generally occurs at a later stage

than locomotor skills because of the need for complex hand eye and foot eye patterns are required to track and

intercept a moving object. Manipulative skills do not develop automatically. Lots of opportunities for instruction

and practice are essential if students are to become competent with manipulative skills. The development of

manipulative skills leads to students becoming more actively involved in games and play activity. Competence in

manipulative skills can improve a student’s self-esteem, peer acceptance and ease transition into local community

and other outside school environments. Kindergarten students will begin with throwing and catching.

opponent’s pins from their own side of the court. Once one team’s pins are knocked down, the game is

over. All pins get set up and the game starts again.

teamwork, ethical behavior and positive social interaction. Key to this unit is developing respect for individual

similarities and differences through positive interaction among participants in physical activity. Similarities and

differences include characteristics of culture, ethnicity, motor performance, disabilities, (e.g., strength, size, shape),

gender, age, race and socioeconomic status.

Lead-Up Games


Fifth grade students will continue to develop skills associated with lead-up games. The primary goal of this unit is

to develop students' fundamental movement skills, rules knowledge, and game strategy within a variety of

developmentally appropriate games. The unit will also enhance students' personal fitness and provide them with

the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in a variety of physical activities outside of the school day. The

games in this unit were designed to promote tactics and logic that can transfer across games in the same category.

The students will understand how, why, and when, to use skills within a game setting. Lead-up games provide an

opportunity for students to practice skills in a simulated game situation. The combination of games and drills

provides optimal learning experiences for the students. Personal and social responsibility, self-directed learning,

and problem solving skills are also reinforced throughout the unit.
