8 Week Vestibular PE Programme – Ages 6 to 7

Some pupils in Key Stage 1 still find it hard to balance, coordinate, or stay in control during movement. They may wobble, move too quickly, or avoid activities like spinning, climbing, or jumping. Others may crave constant motion, finding it difficult to sit still or focus. These behaviours often relate to an immature vestibular system, the sensory network that helps the brain process movement, gravity, and balance.

The 8 Week Vestibular PE Programme provides a complete, ready to teach plan that helps 6 to 7 year olds build balance, control, and confidence through playful, purposeful movement. The lessons gently stimulate and strengthen the vestibular system, helping pupils move with greater stability, improve posture, and stay calm and focused during both activity and rest. Over time, they develop smoother coordination, better concentration, and stronger physical confidence in PE and everyday life.

Ideal for whole class PE, small SEN groups, or enrichment sessions, each lesson follows a consistent three part structure — Activation, Exploration, and Integration — beginning with warm up games to prepare the body, followed by movement exploration that challenges balance and motion, and finishing with calm, grounding activities that reinforce control and focus.

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 21 progressive games and movement activities across 8 weekly lesson plans, designed to strengthen vestibular function, improve balance, and support sensory regulation. Each activity includes clear learning goals, teacher guidance, and simple, easy to follow instructions, no specialist PE training required. Whether you are a class teacher, PE lead, or support staff, this resource helps you deliver inclusive, high quality PE that nurtures calm, balanced, and confident movers.
