About this resource
A short guide for parents. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend at least 60 minutes of moderate activity per day for primary-age children — and most don’t hit it. This guide gives four practical ideas to help, the Daily Mile concept (which many UK schools now run), and the genuinely important conversation about what to say when your child claims they’re “rubbish at sport”.

For parents and carers
This is an interactive lesson for Key Stage 1 physical education — about 10 minutes of focused activity. Your child can watch and interact with this on their own or with you alongside. There's no pressure to finish in one sitting.
Their best score, the time taken, and any answers they got wrong will all be saved automatically to your dashboard so you can see how they're getting on.
For teachers and tutors
A an interactive lesson aligned to the DfE National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 physical education. Use as a standalone activity, a homework task, or a lesson plenary.

How to check the work
Ask your child to retell what they learned in their own words. If they can summarise the main idea, the lesson landed.
