Play. Move. Explore.

Get your service involved in Physical Literacy Week 2026!

2–8 November 2026

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) services across Western Australia are invited to get involved in Physical Literacy Week 2026, a free national initiative celebrating movement and active play.

Through fun, simple activities, children will have opportunities to build movement skills, grow confidence to try new things, develop social and emotional skills, and discover different ways to move and play.

Led by KIDDO at The University of Western Australia, Physical Literacy Week provides free, ready-to-use resources for all ECEC services, schools, playgroups and families. You don't need to be a KIDDO member to participate!

“Seeing the children's confidence to participate build as they revisit experiences. Our educators are more confident to use the supportive language cue cards provided.”

— Educator from a long day care service, Physical Literacy Week 2025

What's available for ECEC services?

• Daily Play. Move. Explore. challenges – fun activities designed for babies and toddlers (0–2 years) and children aged 2–5 years.
• Practical educator resources – activity instructions, movement skill information and tips to support children's development.
• Play at Home challenges – matching activities to share with families and extend the fun at home.
