Physical Activity Worksheet for Kids: Identify and Tick!

How to use this worksheet

Go through the pictures on the page one at a time and ask your child to say out loud what the person in each picture is doing. If the picture shows running, jumping, dancing, or playing sport, have them tick the box beside it. Once every picture has been checked, go back and ask your child to circle the pictures that show household chores instead of physical activity. Finish by asking them to name their favorite physical activity from the ones they ticked.
