This Physical Education lesson was designed to train focus, agility, and the ability to follow instructions. The activities were kept simple yet engaging so that the children could move actively without feeling overwhelmed. These exercises provided opportunities for the children to play while learning to control their body movements.
The participants were Kindergarten B pupils of Al Siddiq. Children at this age are energetic and enjoy small physical challenges, making games that involve quick movements and responsive actions highly suitable for them. With the right guidance, activities like these help them develop essential foundational skills.
The activity took place at the Al Siddiq International indoor court on 5 December 2025. The spacious and safe area offered plenty of room for the children to move freely, jog, and respond to instructions without the risk of bumping into one another. The indoor setting also made the activities comfortable regardless of weather changes.
The objectives of this activity were related to six aspects of child development. From the gross motor aspect, the children learned to run, bend, and move quickly while following instructions. From the fine-motor aspect, they learned to control hand movements when picking up the ball. From the cognitive aspect, they practised sorting instructions, remembering sequences, and responding quickly. From the social aspect, they worked in groups and learned to wait for their turn. Their language skills improved as they listened to and understood the teacher’s commands. From the emotional and moral aspects, the children learned to manage their excitement, respect the rules, and keep the game fair and sportive.
The session began with a focus and agility game. The teacher divided the children into two groups and prepared cones with tennis balls placed on top. The teacher gave instructions such as “touch your head”, “touch your shoulders”, “touch your feet”, and “take the ball”. The children had to listen attentively and move according to the cues. This activity trained them to focus on listening, avoid guessing movements, and follow instructions all the way through.
With a simple yet structured flow, this Physical Education lesson became an opportunity for the children to stay active while learning focus, discipline, and teamwork. The children not only enjoyed the game, but also developed in various areas essential for their age.
