Transform PE into an adventure

The PE Shift Explorer Series is a complete 6-week Primary PE programme for Years 2–6, designed to develop fundamental movement skills, physical confidence, teamwork and resilience through storytelling, exploration and purposeful physical challenges.

Guided by explorers Ava and Kai, pupils progress through six themed missions, each with its own movement focus, challenges and final expedition. From balancing and jumping to pushing, carrying and teamwork, every mission encourages children to explore movement, solve problems, support others and celebrate their progress.

The programme has been designed to be ready to teach. Each mission is supported by a highly visual PowerPoint, while the accompanying Teacher Playbook provides preparation, teaching focuses, safety guidance and differentiation without unnecessary scripting.

The complete bundle includes:

6 fully designed Mission PowerPoints
Primary Teacher Playbook
Explorer Assessment Toolkit
Explorer Passport
Mission badges and Champion rewards
Certificates and celebration resources
Expedition Bingo
Base Camp Supply Cards
Ava & Kai Mission Cards

The Explorer Series is built around a simple belief:

The aim isn’t simply to complete activities. It’s to help every child leave PE feeling successful, confident and excited to move again.
