Pupils should learn throughout PE the importance of healthy, active lifestyles and make connections between their PE lessons and lifelong physical activity. As part of healthy, active lifestyles, children should develop an understanding of the components of health and skill-related fitness, such as power, strength, agility and coordination.
Fitness ladders help children improve coordination, agility, balance, and motor skills while boosting confidence, and cardiovascular fitness. This fun, engaging activity promotes physical and mental development, encouraging an active lifestyle. Download our ladders resources and try it with your children. Don't worry if you don't have fitness ladders; use chalk on the playground to mark out the steps.
