› Teaching children to become responsible and aware of their own bodies is such an important part of elementary PE lessons. They'll need to be able to develop the 6 key fitness components required for healthy development:

» Using your stomach muscles to control your body

» Reaching, stretching & balancing in different ways

» Being able to do an activity for a long period of time

» Using your legs to jump & lift your body

» Using your arms to lift, push & support yourself

» Using most of your muscles to move your whole body
