Wondering how to include physical education in your homeschool? Physical education doesn’t have to involve expensive equipment or a formal sports program. Many homeschool families naturally incorporate physical activity through backyard play, bike riding, walks, hiking, sports, dance, martial arts, and active co-op activities. As students grow older, parents may choose to set fitness goals, track participation, or document progress for high school credit.

Whether you’re teaching healthy habits to elementary students or documenting physical education credits for high school, the resources below can help you plan meaningful physical activity as part of your homeschool program..
