To achieve the objective of the study, the researchers designed a questionnaire consisting of 40 items divided into three main areas: planning, implementation, and evaluation of the physical education session. The sample of the study was chosen intentionally. It included all the cooperative teachers in the first semester of 2018/2019. The results of the study showed that the skills studied were all at a high level of assessment. There are some limited items at a moderate level. However, the results did not show a weak level in any of the study items. The results also showed that the students’ gender and the schools in which they were applied did not have a statistical effect, while there were statistically significant differences in the field of planning skills and in the degree to which the students possess the skills of this field as a whole due to the effect of the cumulative average. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences (α ≤0.05) in the implementation and evaluation skills due to the student cumulative average. The study recommended that there is a need to train students - teachers to activate and prepare extracurricular activities that develop the various motor abilities of students in the first three grades.
