Circuit Stations
A Free Movement Program for Primary Schools
A ready-to-use training pack designed to build strength, power, balance, agility and fundamental movement skills while giving students real opportunities to practise leadership, cooperation and social skills
Why This Circuit?
This isn't just a fitness circuit. It has a genuine connection to what we care about, because it brings together:
Movement and physical wellbeing
Self-regulation and readiness to learn
Social connection and cooperation
Leadership and responsibility
Confidence and participation
Fundamental movement skills, which support children's physical development
Opportunities for students to experience competence, persistence, and positive interaction
It's a chance for kids to build the whole-person skills we believe in, not just their fitness.

What's Included
Circuit Stations – Kids Edition: 7 illustrated exercise stations with kid-friendly instructions and coaching cues.
Helper Rotation Plan: a 10-helper round-robin roster so every student gets a turn to lead, plus a Week 3 independent-play option and a Wet Weather Plan for indoor days.
Warm-Up Guide: a RAMP-based warm-up with animal-walk games kids genuinely enjoy.
Quick Info
Ages: 7–13
Group size: whole class, or independent play in a supervised playground area
Equipment: minimal & listed in Helper Rotation Plan
Time: roughly 15–20 minutes; works well as a weekly PE anchor, with optional independent recess/lunch play once the class knows the moves
How to Use It
Print and laminate the station cards.
Warm up first using the Warm-Up Guide.
Set up stations around your space (indoors or out) and rotate helpers using the Helper Rotation Plan, so leadership gets shared around the class.
Once students know the moves, the circuit doesn't have to stop at the PE lesson. The same low-equipment stations can run independently at recess or lunch, set up in a corner of the playground within view of the rostered duty teacher.
