Pre-school PE Lesson Ideas

Have all the students spread out in their own personal space. ( I have them stand on spots) The teacher starts out as the "cat" that all the students want to copy. Start with basic stationary movements - marching, stomping, clapping, swinging your arms - be creative. Start off slowly doing your movements then to challenge the students move a little faster. Once all the students are successfully copying you, start moving off and around your dot - jump off, walking around, etc. You need to really emphasize every being in their own space and not being able to touch anyone else. Next, start moving all over the gym using different movements.

Once the students get the hang of copy cat ask for volunteers to be the "cat". Students usually come up with the best moves that are really creative. Take turns so that everyone that wants to gets a chance to be the "cat".
