Abstract: As elementary schools expand to include Prekindergarten (PreK), many elementary school physical education teachers are surprised to find PreK classes on their teaching schedule. Equally, many PreK classroom teachers are recognizing the need for quality movement opportunities for their students and are searching for resources that can help all children reach recommendations for physical activity (PA). Both types of teachers may feel ill-equipped and even ill-informed to address the needs of this age group. This article is intended to help teachers better understand the activity needs of PreK students, the benefits of PA, and recommended strategies to embrace.
