This session will identify aspects of caring and empathy that can be taught by elementary physical educators and engage participants in a series of physical activities that teach these qualities. Physical educators can help counter the many negative social messages and images bombarding our children. We can teach them to care for one another, put themselves in others' shoes and practice through play how to be thoughtful toward others—especially those different from themselves.
