What's up PE Nation!

Don't let kindergarten scare you!

Teaching kindergarten PE requires a thoughtful approach centered on structure, simplicity, positive reinforcement, basic games, and genuine enjoyment. When these five elements come together, kindergarten classes transform from potentially chaotic experiences into joyful learning environments where young students thrive.

• Structure forms the foundation for kindergarten success
• Students need consistent routines and expectations
• Keep instructions simple 
• Praise specific positive behaviors 
• Use tangible rewards 
• Stick to basic games 
• Have fun!

Take care and happy teaching!
