About KS2 Physical Education
Key Stage 2 Physical Education supports children in Years 3-6 (ages 7-11) to develop movement skills, teamwork and healthy habits. These teacher-written quizzes provide quick, clear checks on rules, tactics and safe practice, with instant feedback to strengthen understanding between practical lessons.
PE is not only about doing. Children also need the language of sport, a sense of fair play, and the safety knowledge that helps them warm up properly, avoid injury and make sensible choices in different activities.
What This Section Covers
This section includes game tactics, swimming and water safety, adventurous activities and health and safety. Children learn how to find space, pass and mark, understand basic training ideas, and recognise why rules and safe behaviour matter in lessons and clubs.
How to Use These Quizzes at Home
Try one quiz at a time and talk through any missed questions. Ask your child to explain a rule, describe a safe warm-up, or share a tactic they could try in a game. Repeating a quiz after a short break helps build confident recall.
Official Curriculum Guidance
For the official National Curriculum guidance for Physical Education in England, see GOV.UK: 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. Short quizzes make it easy to revise little and often, so knowledge sticks between practical sessions.
Do the quizzes cover fitness and safety as well as games?
Yes. Alongside tactics and skills, there are quizzes on warm-ups, injury prevention and swimming safety, helping children understand how to take part safely and sensibly.
What is the best way to use the quizzes at home?
Pick one topic, complete the quiz, then discuss the feedback together. Encourage a re-try after a few days and, where possible, apply the learning in real activities.
Are these quizzes suitable for all KS2 year groups?
Yes. The language is clear for Years 3-6, and the topics build from simple ideas to more detailed understanding, so children can progress at a comfortable pace.
