| Summary: | Physical literacy is a phenomenon that has the potential to improve our engagement in an active life. However, there are no appropriate and validated instruments for the Brazilian context. This study aimed to present the Assessment for Brazilian Children’s Physical Literacy tools and evaluate their content validity, reliability, and feasibility. Five instruments — the Perception of Motor Competence Scale and Confidence Scale for Involvement in Physical Activity (affective domain), the Sedentary Behavior Scale and Organized Physical Activity Questionnaire (behavioral domain), and the Scale of Knowledge and Understanding of Physical Activity (comprehension domain) — were tested for content validity with a panel of 19 judges (Delphi method). The Content Validity Coefficient (> .8) confirmed the validity for all instruments; subsequently, schoolchildren aged 8 to 13 years (n = 19) answered the instruments. Correlations confirmed the tools’ reliability (good to excellent); feasibility results ranged from good to excellent. These Assessment for Brazilian Children’s Physical Literacy tools proved to be valid, reliable, and feasible for this Brazilian sample.
