Curriculum Link

  • Health and Physical Education | Movement skills – Pre-Primary | Western Australian Curriculum Code: WAPHEPMM1, WAPHEPMM2, WAPHEPMM3
  • Understanding movement for health: WAPHEPMU1, WAPHEPMU2
  • Interpersonal skills for cooperation: WAPHEPMI1

This lesson aligns with the WA Curriculum focus on developing fundamental movement skills—body management, locomotor, and object control—and building safe, cooperative participation in physical activities.


Equipment Required

  • Soft small balls (one per pair)
  • Beanbags or small soft objects (30 total)
  • Cones (6 for boundary marking)
  • Lines or tape on the floor for line walking
  • Whistle or bell

WALT (We Are Learning To)

  • Develop and practise fundamental movement skills: static balance, climbing, line walking, running, hopping, galloping
  • Practise object control skills: underarm throw, underarm roll, catch
  • Understand and apply rules for safe play and equipment use
  • Cooperate with classmates by sharing and taking turns

WILF (What I’m Looking For)

  • Ability to balance on one foot for a few seconds
  • Use of different locomotor movements controlled and confidently
  • Successful underarm throws and rolls with a partner
  • Following the boundaries and responding to whistle signals
  • Demonstrating taking turns and sharing equipment fairly

Warm Up (10 minutes)

Movement Freeze Game

  • Play light, lively music and have students move freely around the space using different locomotor skills (run, hop, gallop).
  • When the music stops (or whistle blows), students freeze and show a balance pose on one foot.
  • Repeat several times, challenging students to hold the balance longer each time.

This gets children actively engaged and warm while practising static balance and locomotor skills.


Daily Review (5 minutes)

Gather students in a circle and ask:

  • What different ways did we move today? (Expect answers like running, hopping, galloping)
  • How did you keep safe with others?
  • What did you share or take turns with?

Brief reflection encourages verbalising understanding and reinforces cooperation and safety in play.


Activities (30 minutes)

Activity 1: Obstacle Line Walk (10 minutes)

  • Set up a straight line on the floor using tape or cones.
  • Children take turns walking along the line carefully, balancing with arms out.
  • Add a ‘climb’ station by placing a low platform or soft block to step onto and off.
  • Encourage quiet concentration and control.
  • Link: Develop static balance and body management skills (WAPHEPMM1).

Activity 2: Locomotor Movement Practice (10 minutes)

  • Create a course with cones spaced for running, hopping on one foot, and galloping.
  • Model and demonstrate each locomotor skill.
  • Students practice moving through the course using each skill.
  • Encourage noticing space and moving safely around others (WAPHEPMM3).

Activity 3: Underarm Throw and Roll with Partners (10 minutes)

  • Pair students and give each pair a soft ball or beanbag.
  • Practice underarm throwing the ball to a partner standing a short distance.
  • Practice rolling the ball on the ground to partner.
  • Introduce the idea of ‘ready position’ with hands ready to catch.
  • Emphasise waiting for turns and sharing equipment (WAPHEPMI1).

Conclusion (5 minutes)

  • Gather students and conduct a cool-down by gently stretching arms and legs.
  • Briefly recap what skills they practised today.
  • Reinforce the importance of safety: listening for the whistle, staying within boundaries, and sharing equipment.
  • Praise positive cooperative behaviours seen during the lesson.

Additional Notes for Teachers

  • Ensure clear boundaries and safe spacing at all times.
  • Use positive reinforcement generously to encourage effort and cooperation.
  • Adapt balance and locomotor tasks for any students needing support or challenge.
  • Use simple commands and visual cues to maintain attention and reinforce safety rules.

This lesson plan was specifically designed to meet the Western Australian Curriculum standards for Pre-Primary Physical Education and aligns with codes WAPHEPMM1, WAPHEPMM2, WAPHEPMM3, WAPHEPMU1, WAPHEPMU2, and WAPHEPMI1 related to movement skills, understanding movement, and interpersonal cooperation in physical activity.
