Move It! — The PE Board Game
Category: Games & Activities · 2-page printable PDF · Ages F-2, 3-4 · Free for ConnectedPE members
A printable board game that turns movement practice into a party: groups of 2–4 roll a dice and travel a colourful 24-square path where every square triggers a quick physical challenge — kangaroo jumps, bear crawls, silly dances and more. TURBO, SUPERSTAR and SWITCHEROO squares add chaos; three blank Design-Your-Own squares add creativity.
Board-game structure delivers what free play can't: turn-taking, shared attention on each mover, and natural rest intervals between efforts. Across a game, students touch a dozen-plus fundamental movement skills — jumping, crawling, balancing, stretching, rhythmic and creative movement — mapped to FMS, balance, locomotion and cooperation outcomes.
Two pages, no equipment beyond dice, F–4, indoors or out. Print and laminate a class set for wet-weather lessons, station rotations, or family game night via the take-home version. The blank squares are the quiet gem — students authoring challenges for each other.
