We show that the kinematic equations for constant acceleration form a one parameter group acting on a phase space. We define the group elements $\\phi_t$ by their action on the points in the phase space. We also generalize this approach to projectile motion. We evaluate the group orbits regarding their relations to the physical orbits of particles and unphysical solutions. We note that the group theoretical formulation does not apply to more general cases involving a time dependent acceleration.
