Key Stage 2 Physical Education (PE)

About KS2 Physical Education (PE)

KS2 PE builds strong foundations in movement, coordination and healthy living. Our quizzes turn core ideas into quick checks that help children grasp rules, tactics and safe practice while developing confidence. They’re ideal for home study and for reinforcing what’s taught in school lessons for Years 3–6.

Start with Game Tactics to explore simple strategies such as marking, passing and finding space. Move on to Swimming to revise water safety and basic strokes. For outdoor challenge and teamwork, try Adventurous Activities. Finally, check your understanding of warm-ups, injury prevention and sensible behaviour with Health and Safety.

Quizzes are short and focused, so children can spot strengths and address gaps quickly. Regular low-stress practice encourages recall of keywords, rules and techniques across a variety of sports and activities.

See the official Government guidance: Physical education programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can these quizzes support my child’s PE learning?

They reinforce key vocabulary, rules and safety guidance taught in school PE lessons. Short question sets make it easy to revise little and often, helping knowledge stick between practical sessions.

Do the quizzes cover fitness and safety as well as games?

Yes. Alongside topics like tactics and skills, you’ll find quizzes on warm-ups, injury prevention, swimming safety and sensible behaviour in lessons. This supports a rounded, health-focused approach to PE.

What’s the best way to use the quizzes at home?

Pick one topic at a time and discuss any missed questions together. Encourage children to re-try a quiz after a few days to build recall, then apply what they’ve learned in real activities where possible.
