Introduction: The alarming increase in Covid-19 cases has forced the government to implement movement control orders across the country. Due to these circumstances, the people's daily activities have been substantially affected, including those children. The pandemic has affected the children's activities, and they are unable to engage in outdoor and indoor activities. Moreover, the children's learning activities are also affected and need to be carried out through virtual education (PDPR). This virtual-based kind of learning will be more effective with guidance and support from the parents. However, this situation could lead to the feeling of stress and burdening the parents. Therefore, a systematic plan needs to be implemented to increase the children's physical activities and reduce the burden on parents during PDPR. Objective: The development of the HoPA’S Program (Home-Based Physical Activity) to increase physical activities among school children during the PDPR. In addition, the development of this program is a planned and systematic activity that will help children freely express ideas, especially in Physical Education or during Co-curriculum activities. Methodology: In this study, the validity of the content of the SPARK program is based on the construction model of Sidek and Jamaludin (2005). The HoPA’S Program content creation process begins with the objective and concludes with a draft union. In the initial stages of the content development of the program, researchers determine the purpose, objective of this program, and the appropriate types of activities that are applied to enhance the students' physical activities. Therefore, the development of the HoPA’S Program is through 2 phases, namely program construction and validity of the content. Research findings: Thus, the results of the expert assessment on HoPA’S Program contents have a high content legality value of .86. Therefore, this value can be explained that the HoPA’S Program is highly relevant to the learning and teaching process for Physical Education subjects and co-curricular activities. In conclusion, the program is expected to provide opportunities for children to undergo natural learning through cognitive, social theories that contribute to the learning and teaching process of Physical and Health Education subjects and their considerable impact on children's physical activity.
