Summary

This opening unit presents physical education as far more than a games period — it is education *through* the body, training body and mind together so that movement, discipline and fitness improve the quality of everyday life. Following the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE 2023), the subject is named Physical Education and Well-being because it builds not only physical fitness but also happiness, confidence, emotional balance and mental calmness, while nurturing values such as respect, fairness, honesty and co-operation. Thinkers like Sri Aurobindo and bodies like UNESCO are cited to show that the wider aim is holistic development — shaping character and virtues such as honesty and patience, and preparing students to be socially responsible and emotionally balanced. The unit then explains physical literacy: the ability, confidence and motivation to stay physically active throughout life, just as reading and writing build language literacy. It classifies the building-block movement skills into locomotor skills (running, jumping, hopping), non-locomotor skills (bending, stretching, balancing, used heavily in yoga), and manipulative skills (throwing, catching, kicking, dribbling). Indigenous games and yoga asanas are highlighted as ways to develop these skills while connecting students to India's cultural heritage.
