Its core philosophical beliefs clearly point out the need to develop scientific and effective physical education and health curricular models, which can facilitate students to master one or two sports and promote the development of core literacy among students such as sports skills, health and well-being, and sports character etc., thus accomplishing the great historical mission of “Healthy China” and “Sports Power”. By analyzing the literature on curriculum models in China and foreign countries, the purpose of this paper was to discuss five issues to consider when developing a new curriculum model based on the guidelines. The study suggests that a combination of teaching units and curricular models can be used to accomplish multiple curricular goals; the construction of curriculum unification can provide progressive, systematic teaching content; the theory of situated learning and the curriculum model of situated game teaching through setting players can be used as a framework to teach sports skills in a situational and structural way; the integration play into physical education teaching can create experiences of fun and enjoyment; an integration of other dimensions of well-being into a new curriculum model can accomplish the goal of whole development of students’ well-being.
