Planning for physical education requires a progression from a long-term overview to short-term units and the development of individual lesson plans. Teachers can do this by first selecting a main concept, skill, or theme. Once they have identified the focus, they may select prescribed learning outcomes. They can design a series of lessons that reflects the sequential nature of skill development and meets a number of prescribed learning outcomes.
When selecting appropriate activities for students, teachers should consider their own expertise, available resources, and facilities within the school and community. It is recommended that no less than 15% of instructional time be spent in any one movement category. This minimum-time percentage provides flexibility for teachers to allocate additional time in areas that best meet the needs of their students.
The following chart lists some of the suggested activities within each of the movement categories that may be used to meet the learning outcomes in the prescribed physical education curriculum. This does not represent an exhaustive list but rather indicates the types of activities that can be found within each category.
