The school environment is caring and allows learners to develop good health and well-being during physical movement activities. Physical movement activities are essential for successful learning and happy lives for children. This paper aimed at exploring the role of movement activities on good health and well-being of Foundation Phase learners. The study adopted a qualitative case study design. All Foundation Phase teachers were part of this study, but only eight sampled teachers participated. Interviews were used as the main and sole data collection tool and data analysed thematically. The study found that in schools, some teachers use movement activities to make learners aware of certain basic concepts through movement. Some teachers were experiencing problem of enageing learners in movement activiries due to unauthentic environment. There were gaps that emerged from interviews as teachers were not aware that movement activities were associated with health outcomes in schools. The study recommends that teachers should be equipped with theoretical knowledge on how learners can learn through movement. teachers should be encouraged to engage learners in movement activities every day for their healthy development and well-being. Teachers should be motivated to implement correct programmes as stated in the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement which serves as a vital role in developing learner�s movement abilities.
