Healthy Bodies and Exercise - EYFS PSHE

Healthy Bodies and Exercise EYFS PSHE lesson.

A detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for EYFS/Reception age children. This lesson has been designed for use with children in Reception, however, the PowerPoint and activities could be adapted for use with other age groups.

In this lesson, the children will learn how to keep their bodies fit and healthy. We will identify different forms of physical activity including dancing, outdoor play, and playing a sport, as well as discussing the reasons why our bodies need to exercise. We will watch a short video clip before carrying out a choice of adult-led and independent activities.

The lesson includes a sing-along starter (to ensure a swift start to the lesson), a short video clip with an accompanying activity, an adult-led focus task, independent activities to be carried out during continuous provision, and a plenary task.

Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets.

The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
