Overview

---

Movement competence supports Grade 3 Health skills with Ontario-aligned activities and safety strategies across 3 worksheets. This lesson bundle helps you move from foundational movement ideas to clear, student-friendly explanations that connect movement, safety, and skill practice in an Ontario framework 🧩.

What’s Included

---

• ✅ Grade 3 Health | Safety Strategies Worksheet (Ontario) – PDF – Students review safety situations and choose strategies that help keep people safe during everyday movement.
• ✅ Grade 3 Health Movement Concepts Worksheet (PDF) – Ontario Standards – Students identify key movement concepts and apply them to simple movement choices and observations.
• ✅ Grade 3 Health Worksheet | Locomotor Skills with Ontario Standards (PDF) – Students practice and document locomotor skills, connecting correct movement to Ontario expectations.

Skills & Standards

---

Aligned to the Ontario framework, these worksheets support students as they build disciplinary health understanding through active practice and classroom discussion. Students encounter crosscutting concepts such as patterns in movement (what changes when speed or direction changes) and cause-and-effect relationships (how safe choices reduce risk during movement). The materials encourage modeling by having you demonstrate a movement task and then guiding students to use movement language on the page. Students also strengthen analytical reasoning by sorting examples, explaining what they notice, and comparing outcomes across safety strategies and movement contexts. Finally, they write evidence-based explanations by referencing worksheet observations and using appropriate health vocabulary to justify why a strategy or movement choice is effective.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

---

Use this lesson bundle over a short multi-day pacing plan (for example, 1 worksheet per day or 2 days with a brief review day). Start each session with a quick teacher model of the movement focus, then have students complete the corresponding worksheet with a partner discussion before independent work. For centers, assign one worksheet per station and rotate so students practice both movement ideas and safety language. Add a brief closure check by asking students to share one evidence-based explanation from their worksheet (for instance, which safety strategy fits a scenario and why). If students need support, review vocabulary aloud and provide a sentence frame for explanations before they record answers.
