Record and reflect on personal participation in movement activities (e.g., at home, at school, in the community in a variety of environments) over a given period of time (e.g., a day, a week) to make conclusions about "How physically active am I?".

Explain why it is important to be physically active in school, at home, and in the community.

Explain why (e.g., to improve the strength of the heart and the capacity of the lungs, as well as to support the strength of the mind and the spirit) the body needs to participate in sustained or intermittent vigorous movement activity (running, skipping, cycling, swimming, dancing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, games play) for at least 30 minutes a day.

Sustain participation in moderate to vigorous movement activities (e.g., walking, snowshoeing, running, paddling, skipping, cycling, swimming, dancing, parachute play) and lead-up games (e.g., tag games, follow the leader) that increase heart rate and respiration rate, for seven consecutive minutes on a consistent basis.

Self-initiate and engage in a variety of movement activities that challenge and support health-related fitness.

Recognize that both the heart and lungs are key body organs that are challenged positively when we participate in movement activities that improve our cardiovascular fitness.

Compare physical differences in the body's response after participation in continuous cardiovascular endurance activity (e.g., running, cross-country skiing, dancing, parachute play) for different lengths of time (e.g., one minute, five minutes, eight minutes) to determine the cardiovascular benefits.

Explore and engage in a variety of flexibility exercises, as identified by the teacher, that focus on flexibility of the large muscles (e.g., bicep, triceps, quadriceps, hamstring).

Self-initiate and incorporate dynamic stretching (see glossary) into warm-up for participation in moderate to vigorous activity.

Support, lift, and control own body weight in a variety of activities (e.g., balancing on hands, holding raised push-up position and other stable positions, imitating animal walks) and explain how these are beneficial for improving muscular endurance and muscular strength.

Engage, with guidance, in proper and engaging warm-up activities (e.g., light aerobic activity such as tag games and choreographed routines that include stretching exercises) that prepare the muscles for vigorous activities (e.g., increase blood circulation and elasticity of muscles and ligaments).

Identify a variety of self-determined fun movement activities that increase heart-lung capacity, and/or muscular endurance.

Recognize that many opportunities exist within local communities to support people to be active daily (e.g., clubs, teams, with friends at recess, at lunch hour, before/after school programs, and at home after school and on weekends).

Identify locations within local communities, both indoor and outdoor, where people can engage in movement activities (e.g., home, rink, park, yard, open field, fitness centre).

Explore, with guidance, and participate in "neighbourhood" (e.g., kick the can, capture the flag, ante-I-over) and "playground" games (e.g., snowsnakes, hopscotch, Chinese skipping, double ball, hide and seek, fox and geese) that involve moderate to vigorous physical movement.

Identify, record, and reflect on simple, realistic goals for increasing the amount and/or variety of personal participation in movement activities (e.g., playing actively as a group at recess, walking to school every day, joining an activity-based club, playing at the park with family).
