Moving to Success K-5 Physical Education Curriculum Guide (FREE)

Important Note: This is not a contemporary and updated curriculum that PE Central has written and can be used as it is written. It is a curriculum guide from 2011 that we think would be helpful as a resource to help you build your own curriculum.

Thanks for your interest in this free K-5 Elementary PE Curriculum Guide. The curriculum was developed and sold starting in 2011. The curriculum originally sold for $150 in a 3-ring binder format. We are making this available in a digital format (Microsoft Word and PDF) in hopes that it will help you in building your own curriculum to meet today's standards. You can download the Word documents and you should be able to edit the document.

Description (from 2011)

Moving to Success is a K-5 standards-based developmentally appropriate elementary physical education curriculum guide. The curriculum is developed around the content areas of locomotion, body management, educational games, and dance. There are over 150 motor tasks developed by grade level. Each motor task has the following sections to assist the teachers in developing the physical education content: planning information, summative assessment, learning sequence, teacher cues, formative assessment, and a section for cognitive, affective and physical activity objectives. The goal of Moving to Success is to develop physical literacy. Students who are physically literate have the skills, knowledge, and values of how and why to lead a physically active lifestyle.
