Reception - Year 2 PE Challenges - Flash cards, slides + videos for sport

- 45+ specific reception/prep-year 2 fundamental individual sport skill challenges, to develop striking, movement, bouncing, throwing & catching, and kicking skills. Complete with flash cards & videos…

This is my new FAVOURITE addition to my lower primary lesson collection, and perfect to use to start the year, end the year, or anytime in between! I’ve filmed with my son Elijah to bring you the BEST kindy-grade 2 ideas.

Why does EVERY kindy-grade 2 teacher need this?
Developing the fundamental PE skills plays such a VITAL role in the overall development of the students. So we’ve recorded the best ideas using simple equipment to allow you and your class to work on these abilities, whilst developing core attributes such as co-ordination, tracking, reaction and whole-body control…

1. Over 45 fun sport challenges
Using basic gym equipment (balls, cones, rackets, hoops…), we’ve recorded a range of individual tasks, perfectly suited for foundation, year 1 and even year 2 students. The challenges are a combination of sport skills and movements, designed to develop hand-eye co-ordination, reaction, balance, footwork, through the 5 components:
• Striking - hockey & racket skills
• Moving - locomotion, movement, jumping & balance
• Bouncing - basketball dribbling & ball handling
• Throwing & catching - co-ordination & ball tracking
• Kicking – soccer ball control

2. Interactive powerpoint slides
Each task is clearly demonstrated with high-quality video clips within a .pptx file (powerpoint*). There your students can see exactly how the challenge is performed, and simple reference text is there for you, the teacher, to help guide them if needed.

There are multiple ways you can run these activities. For example, simply load the slides onto iPads, and have students working individually or in small groups, as they copy the demonstrations. Students can work in their own space, at their own pace, without the pressure of others around.

3. Printable flash cards
For additional reference, you can print out the flash cards for each skill. That means you can use these to setup stations around the hall and have students practice for 3-4 minutes before rotating around to the next challenge. You can be sure they’ll be engaged and stimulated for the entire lesson!

So yes, these tasks are a must have as part of your physical education support, and you’ll see that taking PE doesn’t have to be daunting and I’ve made it even easier to teach!
