So far, elementary physical education has been made, focusing on the integration of psychomotor and cognitive areas. Consequently, it is true that practice of affective areas has been marginalized to some extent. However, elementary education for the future should move toward integration, in order to realize whole person education in which physical strength, knowledge and virtue are in harmony, and along with psychomotor and cognitive goals, affective goal must be achieved. To this end, narrative integration method is proposed, which is an approach to put into practice integration education integrating these three areas, and thereby to achieve the goals of elementary physical education in an integrated way, through narrative activities as well as physical activities. Therefore, this study discusses the reason why such a narrative approach is necessary for elementary physical education at a theoretic level, which is expected to serve as a basis and background for the practice of narrative physical education at schools.
