Personal, Social, Physical Education Strands: Identity, Active living, Interactions

In the guide 'Making the PYP Happen',(page 117) I have found that the related concepts within each of the three strands has helped me to open up more possibilities within my lessons. If you have a copy of 'Making the PYP Happen', have a look at the related concepts to see how they might fit into any of the units that you teach. I have provided the list of the related concepts below under each strand:
Strand #1: Identity
Related concepts to consider:
Autonomy, Character, Diversity, Ethnicity, Fulfillment, Gender, Heritage, Image, Initiative, Perseverance, Resilience, Self-Regulation, Sexuality, Spirituality, Trust

Strand #2: Active Living
Related concepts to consider:
Aesthetics, Biomechanics, Body Control, Body Form, Challenge, Competition, Energy, Flexibility, Flow, Growth, Goal Setting, Improvement, Leisure, Mastery, Overload, Physiology, Power, Rest, Spatial Awareness, Strength and Endurance, Stress
Strand #3
Related concepts to consider:
Belonging, Citizenship, Community, Conflict, Conformity, Control, Discrimination, Fair Play, Interdependence, Justice, Leadership, Peace, Preservation, Reparation, Safety, Stereotype, Team Work

Although you can easily find these related concepts on page 117 of the guide, I have included them in this blog because having a good look at them myself since the new PSPE scope and sequence came out last year has helped me to broaden the avenue I take within the lessons I teach. Some of these concepts may not seem to link to PE, but when I had a closer look at them, I found that everyone of the related concepts could fit within the program that I teach. It prompted many new ideas for discussion with the students and has allowed for more opportunity to vary the written reflection that I have my students complete on a regular basis.
