8 Week Coordination and Laterality PE Programme – Ages 4 to 5

Many teachers find that some children struggle to move with control, balance, or direction during PE. They may confuse left and right, find it difficult to catch or throw, or move awkwardly when running or changing direction. These challenges can make it hard to engage all pupils equally and deliver progressive, inclusive PE lessons that build the essential foundations for confident movement.

The 8 Week Coordination and Laterality PE Programme helps solve this. Created specifically for 4- to 5-year-olds, it provides a complete, ready-to-use plan for developing bilateral coordination, balance, and body control, the cornerstones of confident physical learning. Over the course of the programme, children learn to coordinate both sides of the body, cross the midline, and move with greater accuracy, awareness, and confidence.

Ideal for whole-class PE, small SEN groups, or enrichment sessions, each lesson follows a clear three-part structure — Activation, Exploration, and Integration — beginning with purposeful warm-up games, followed by creative movement exploration, and finishing with focused, skill-building exercises.

Each lesson is clearly planned and available in two flexible formats:

• 20 minute lessons for short sessions or warm-ups

• 40 minute lessons for full curriculum delivery

The PDF download includes 24 progressive movement games and activities across 8 weekly lesson plans, designed to save teachers planning time while ensuring measurable skill progression. Every activity includes clear learning goals, teacher guidance, and easy-to-follow instructions — no specialist PE background required. Whether you’re a PE lead, class teacher, or support staff, this structured resource helps you confidently deliver high-quality PE that’s inclusive, engaging, and developmentally sound.
