Little Steps encourages Class 3 students to set and achieve personal physical fitness goals—such as holding a plank for 10 seconds, balancing on one leg for 2–5 seconds, or skipping for one minute. Through fun obstacle, tag and balance games like Police and Thieves, animal walks and Vaccine Vijayate (BM 22–BM 27), children build core strength, agility, stamina and body balance.
What Class 3 Physical Education Chapter 4 Covers
Setting Personal Fitness Goals: Holding a plank, one-leg balance, skipping rope and hopping challenges
Balance and Agility Games (BM 22–BM 26): Animal walks, guarding the treasure (Police and Thieves) and hopping relays
BM 27 (Vaccine Vijayate): Understanding how vaccines and physical fitness protect the body from diseases through an active tag game
Small goals, big steps: the chapter says the key to success is setting and reaching goals, such as holding a plank for 10 seconds, balancing on one leg for 2–5 seconds or skipping for one minute. In the police-and-thieves game, the thieves creep towards an object while the guard looks away and freeze like statues when the guard turns; anyone caught moving is out, and whoever takes the object becomes the next guard. The game builds balance, coordination and attention.
