MOVE THE PIN-BATTLE MODE! Students (1 or 2 on each side) battle each other to move the pin towards the other team’s side and knock it down on the last spot to win. Pin starts on white spot. Used for underhand throwing here but can be utilized with plenty of skills! #PhysEd

We also have a 50 yard dash at the end of the day for kids have qualified during PE class to run. They have a chance to earn medals.

FIELD DAY PLANS To each is own, but 10 years ago I made a change and moved away from rotating stations. We have grade level competitions. -1/4 mile run for ribbons -Tug of Rope Tournament (for trophy) -Carnival Games (+Kona Ice) -Scavenger Hunt -Capture the Flag Tournament

Just the 5th winner this year, of the Intercontinental Behavior Championship belt! I award this to students who I catch going out of their way to help others during class. He’ll get a phone call home later :). It’s the little things that all add up to your culture and climate :).

Looking for an amazing activity for St. Patrick’s Day week? This is it!!!

@deterball 3rd-5th but younger grades can do it as well. For them, I add in a 6 foot and 5 foot hoop as additional choices, so everyone can be successful.

@pohlnerpe Great activity! What grade levels is this best for in your experience?

BOARDGAME BASKETBALL !!!! Watch the video for my set up and rules. My students lose their marbles over this super engaging, competitive team activity working on the set shot. #physed

@Jme_K I really am! I love my school :). Single classes on Monday and Tuesday, doubles Wed-Fri.

@pohlnerpe I love this so much!! Thank you for sharing. But wait a second….you are living the DREAM!!! Single classes AND a gym?!!!! Nice!

!!! CIRCLEBALL !!! One of my students’ favorite striking activities and great lead up to spikeball and balloon/paddle striking. Watch the video for my rules and gym set-up. If a student gets scored on, they simply move to another court, wait for their turn, and serve!

@project_physed Thanks for the shoutout Drew Burris! I hope all is well buddy :)

Last day before break = Student choice day!!!

Whenever you think balloon striking is “above” your students. Don’t forget to have fun!!!!!!!!!

MAGIC CLUB Leveled, self throwing and catching warm up that so many of us use. Watch until the end and pause to see my set up for 4th and 5th grades. This paired perfectly with “Make it Take it” afterwards, a partner throwing and catching activity (thus the spots).

@kim_brehm Same here! We call it Lucky Charms and use mats. Love the idea of the coins :)

@pohlnerpe Agree! This game has been a hit for years. Never gets old. We play it again around St. Patrick's Day using some fake gold coins in addition to the bean bags or yarn balls (definitely harder to pick up making it more challenging.)

Halloween Tagging Game. Definitely using this week. Check it out below!

@CoachCosgrove_ Basically Line Tag (all players, including tagger(s) must stay on floor lines) but if you get tagged, freeze and do the 6-7 hand gesture and call out “6-7!”. Classmate must come by dab you up to get you back in. Nothing incredibly creative but they were freaking out!!!

@pohlnerpe Gonna need an explanation 😂

I’m pretty sure my students are going to freak out when they come into the gym and see today’s warm-up on the screen! #ifyoucantbeatemjoinem

4 teams must travel across the gym, w/out touching the floor, using only their team’s equip. 1st team to get every player to the opposite mat wins. Middle mat is checkpoint that all can use

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!!! Easily my students’ favorite cooperative activity. So much communication, teamwork and problem solving :). #physed
