8 Week Coordination PE Programme – Ages 8 to 9
Teachers often notice that some children still struggle with balance, timing, and body control during PE or sport. They may find it hard to catch or throw accurately, confuse left and right, or move awkwardly when running or changing direction. These challenges can make coordination games and team activities frustrating, lowering confidence and slowing physical progress.
The 8 Week Coordination and Laterality PE Programme provides a complete, ready to teach resource for helping 8 to 9 year olds improve movement control, directionality, and physical confidence. It strengthens both sides of the body and builds the foundations needed for accurate, coordinated movement in sport and PE. Over the course of the programme, children develop better balance, body awareness, and control, while teachers gain a fully structured plan that is simple to deliver, inclusive, and effective.
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 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 visible skill progression. Every activity includes clear learning goals, teaching guidance, and simple, easy to follow instructions, no specialist PE training required. Whether you are a PE lead, class teacher, or support staff, this ready to use resource helps you deliver high quality, inclusive PE that builds lasting movement skills.
