Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. By developing physical skills and knowledge, children gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, and are thus more motivated to participate in and engage in physical activities.

What those who make a difference have to say

Champions in Motion is my favourite part of the day!
Grade 2 student
The students started playing the games during recess. They were really popular, and at times there were even too many students who wanted to join in! As for the Recess Champions, the first week was tough, especially in terms of organization and leadership; I was there to support and help them. Fortunately, things got much better after that.

Recess Champions really helped reduce the conflict at recess. Not only with the younger kids participating but with gr.4/5s leading the program.

I have always appreciated all of the work you have put in for physical educators. Your movement cards, your resources and even your after school programs have helped students enjoy physical activity and creates a positive perspective around being active. Thank you!
