Horizon's multidimensional
Physical Education Curriculum looks to goals beyond that of pure physical fitness.
Physical Education helps children to learn how to use the body as an instrument for God, a goal which acts as the end for other objectives such as fitness & sports education, commitment, competition and conduct. The first lesson includes notes for using the curriculum, including physical education, goals, curriculum model, plans, administration notes and other teaching helps, all of which are given from a Christian perspective.
Each grade's chapter includes information on developing, creating, and producing control skills, motor abilities and specialized sport skills, and contains notes on helping students to build strength and flexibility. Exercises, weight-lifting guides, BMI and other fitness evaluation charts, drills, stewardship lessons and various other activities are described and some illustrated; many include ideas for which two or multiple students will be necessary. Physical Education integrates actual physical activities with teaching on the total health of the body, including eating habits, Scripture-related lessons, communication skills, defined new sports terms, and other non-active content. 496 pages, softcover. Grades 6-8.
