What is Simple Athletics?
Simple Athletics involves various sports and games that require physical skills like running, jumping, and throwing. These activities are great for developing coordination, balance, and strength.
Simple Athletic Activities

Safety Rules in Athletics
There are important safety rules to follow when participating in athletics. These rules help keep us safe and prevent injuries. The main safety rules are:

- Wear appropriate attire, such as sports shoes and comfortable clothing. Proper attire provides support and comfort during athletic activities.
- Follow the instructions and guidelines given by the teacher. Listening to the teacher ensures you are performing activities correctly and safely.
- Avoid dangerous areas or obstacles. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas that could pose a risk.
- Ask for help or clarification when needed. Don’t hesitate to ask the teacher if you have any questions or need assistance.
