Starting Off with Kindergarten

The beginning of the school year is crucial for teaching kindergarteners in physical education, as many of the children are experiencing school for the first time. Teachers emphasize the importance of creating a calm and welcoming environment, introducing basic routines and interactive activities to ease the children into their new setting. Establishing a stopping signal and practicing movement in a structured yet low-pressure manner helps children feel comfortable. Addressing how to maintain personal space during activities also lays the groundwork for positive behavior in the gym.
