Foundation Stage Movement Actions Resource

This engaging and easy-to-use resource is designed to support physical development in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It introduces a range of fun movement actions, each clearly explained to help children understand how to perform them safely and effectively.

Each movement is presented with a simple name and child-friendly instructions. For example:

“Turtle Crawl: In a crawling position, slow down, lowering your elbows and head closer to the ground as you move.”

The resource encourages children to explore different ways of moving, helping to develop coordination, balance, strength, and body awareness. It is ideal for use in PE sessions, movement breaks, or outdoor play.

To support understanding, clear images are included for every movement, allowing children to visualise each action and imitate it with confidence.

Perfect for:

• Nursery and Reception classes
• Warm-ups and brain breaks
• Developing gross motor skills
• Encouraging active, imaginative play

A simple, visual, and engaging way to get young children moving!
