Abstract: | In Fall 2006, North Carolina kindergarten teachers were charged with the task of meeting the NASPE guidelines for providing
daily physical activity to their kindergarten students. In turn, the teachers researched resources and consulted experts to
design and develop a developmentally appropriate physical activity and physical play environment for their students. The purpose
of this article is to disseminate useful information one group of kindergarten teachers believed would help other teachers
in similar situations. The article discusses the planning process, suggestions for activities and necessary equipment for
program implementation, and vignettes regarding the experiences the teachers and students have had during the physical activity
and physical play program’s inaugural year.
