Key Stage 2 Athletics Activities
24 Units · 150 Lessons · 406 Activities
🏃
Partners time each other running for 10 seconds, counting cones passed to establish baseline pace for longer challenges
🏃
Partners measure maximum 10-second sprint performance then explore sustainability concepts
🏃
Progressive endurance challenge where students maintain sustainable pace for extended period with partner support
🏃
A sustained endurance run where students learn pacing strategies and build cardiovascular fitness over 3 minutes of continuous movement
🏃
Collaborative team challenge where groups strategically divide 400m distance based on individual strengths and team planning
🏃
Progressive throwing accuracy practice using quoits with target-based challenges
🏃
Rotating station challenge applying both accuracy and distance throwing skills competitively
🏃
Coordination drill using agility ladders to develop quick, light footwork essential for sprint acceleration
🏃
Team relay combining agility ladder work with sprint elements, emphasising quality technique under competitive pressure
🏃
Groups of four practice proper relay changeover technique using alternate hands method at dedicated practice stations
🏃
Target-based throwing game using varied heights and distances to develop accuracy and tactical thinking
🏃
Exciting target game where teams use throwing skills to knock objects off platforms at different heights and distances
🏃
Scientific investigation comparing different arm positions during sprinting
🏃
A scientific investigation where students test three different arm positions to discover optimal throwing technique
🏃
A scientific exploration comparing different arm and leg techniques to understand optimal jumping mechanics
🏃
Scientific investigation comparing jumping distance with and without arm swing to understand technique
🏃
Progressive acceleration runs building from 50% to 80% speed to prepare students for athletic activities
🏃
Dynamic bouncing sequence to activate leg muscles and prepare for jumping activities
🏃
Teams rotate through multiple athletic events in timed stations
🏃
Celebratory cool-down combining gentle stretching with team achievement recognition and self-reflection
🏃
Multi-sport warm-up that prepares students for athletics activities through running, arm movements, and jumping
🏃
Structured cool-down combining physical recovery with meaningful reflection on learning and technique development
🏃
Traditional hopscotch adapted for athletic skill development with accuracy and coordination focus
🏃
Multiple challenge stations testing different jumping skills with measurement and recording
