| dc.description.abstract | Foreword: Physical Education and Sport is internationally recognized as enabler of Sustainable Development. It is considered as “one of the most effective means of providing all children and youth with skills, positive attitudes, values, knowledge and understanding for lifelong participation in society” (MINEPS V, 2013) and contributes to the aspirations of African Union Agenda 2063 “The Africa We Want”. Research indicates that active participation in quality physical education and sport, instils a positive attitude towards physical activity, hence decreasing the chances of young people engaging in risky behaviour. Physical Education and Sport also impacts positively on academic performance, while providing a platform for wider social inclusion. The Kenya Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) provides for essential career pathways and thus enables pursuance of individual interest and holistic development of talent. Through Physical Education and Sport, learners are able to acquire core competencies in basic education such as communication and collaboration; critical thinking and problem solving; creativity and imagination; citizenship; learning to learn; digital literacy and self-efficacy. CBC identifies Physical Education and Sport as one of the learning areas, provides for a career pathway and makes it compulsory for all learners across the levels of early learning and basic education while taking cognizance of special needs. To achieve this goal, varied resource materials are required to guide implementation of Physical Education at all levels as prescribed in CBC. This handbook has been developed by a team of experts from Kenya Academy of Sports (KAS) and other practitioners from the education and sporting sector in consultation with faculty members at Kenyatta University in the Department of Physical Education, Exercise and Sport Science to provide guidance to facilitators in conducting quality Physical Education lessons for lower primary school learners. The handbook contains guidelines and interactive resources on fundamental movement skills for grade 1-3 in the lower primary school and how the facilitator should use play-based and learner-centred activities in movement contexts for optimal acquisition of skills by the learners. This has been designed to accompany acquisition of creative, cognitive and social skills for holistic development of the learner, while taking care of the levels of ability of the learners and making necessary accommodations for inclusivity. The CBC has one main goal of nurturing every learner’s potential. It emphasises that learners have equal opportunities regardless of their gender or abilities, of rising to do what they have interest in while ensuring lifelong participation in physical activity to form healthy and resilient societies.
