Fast Starts

Fast Starts is a physical activity resource developed as a joint initiative between the NSW Department of Education and NSW Health.

A Fast Start activity provides an opportunity to:

engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity (huff 'n' puff) with minimal rules within 2 minutes
explore and practise movement skills (fundamental and specialised movement skills and concepts, tactical and creative movement, health and fitness enhancing movement)
reinforce an inclusive learning environment that supports positive interactions and ongoing collaboration
become familiar with equipment and space
use age and stage appropriate language and concepts that act as a hook to engage students
make planning adjustments based on observations of the physical preparedness of students and the group dynamic.
