Abstract

The study conducted in Qatari Pre-Schools, which indicates the importance of physical education to Pre-School children to their health and mental well-beings. “Mental wellbeing (shown here as happiness) scores are higher for those who are active than those who are less active”. The study is based on comparing two lesson plans one from the English schools and the other one from the Arabic school, the lesson plans are very similar but the English one is more specific, they have several curriculum books and one is specialized in physical education. It is called physical education, physical activity and sport in schools by Long R, et al.. The outdoor play is more than the Arabic school especially in swimming which is compulsory in the British curriculum. “All schools must provide swimming instructions either in key stage one or key stage 2”. This study indicates that the English school is more advanced in physical education when compared to the Qatari school, despite this the Qatari school is still well developed in physical education. The English schools have more teachers assistants in physical education and are more advanced in the out-door sitting.
