@mchamberlainPE @FirstTeeMN @TheMasters We just got our SNAG Golf equipment in the other day. We can’t wait to use it in class. Mike what grades do you typically do golf with?

I love having my own kiddos in class. Especially during our Golf unit! My daughter is up tomorrow! 🙌 @FirstTeeMN @TheMasters #elempe #physed

@ElemPE1 @SHAPE_America 😉

"Deck Ring Transfer!"⭕ How many can you get? Disguising fitness. Developing upper body strength💪, improving foot-eye coordination, setting goals, & accepting challenges.👍 @SHAPE_America S5.E2.4 Thanks #physed community!

Rainbow Hockey in PE. K-2 activity. Stick handle an object and then when close enough shoot it into one of the six colored goals. Bring stick and object back and check off the color you scored in. When you get all six colors trade in for a new object to use.

@mchamberlainPE @GopherSport Thanks Mike

Are @GopherSport #NowNets as big enough a staple to #physed as other core equipment scarves, polyspots, beanbags, hula hoops, cones, jump ropes, etc. Looks awesome @BleessPE!

Gopher Sport NowNets are the best. Paddle tennis with balloons for K-2 grades.

Birdies and Buckets. Fun way to practice serving underhand or backhand. Students must track the shuttle so that they can catch it. If caught move spot ahead. Once they make a touchdown go to next level.

Paddle or Noodle Basketball. We used paddles first then traded for noodles later. Lots of fun and laughter. Great way to include passing, striking to a target, amount of force to strike, and different levels of striking.

2 Paddle striking games going on at same time for k-2. 1. Paddle For Points 2. Paddle Bowling.

@CoachPenrod4 To be honest I don’t know what they are called Or where you would get them. They were here 30 years ago when I first started here!

@BleessPE Looks amazing! I love how bouncy yours is! What is the yellow thing called? Would love to get some of those!

Thanks to @CoachPenrod4 for this idea for an adapted hand dribbling ball for student in wheelchairs.

@CoachPenrod4 How did you attach ball to bungee cord?

The smile says it all! 🏀 #adaptedpe

@pe4everykid You are the best!

Super impressed with this double kindergarten class of 40 students. They traveled in shared space safely and stayed on task throughout the activity. ❤️ #physed #Kindergarten #physicaleducation

Working on batting and fielding skills this week. We use this video on YouTube from Mr. Stebbin as a virtual pitcher so younger students can practice swinging before using the tees and bats later in lesson.

@ErikDanielsonPE Scooping, raking, individual challenges with a whiffle ball, wall ball if you have yarn/fleece balls that will bounce back off the wall. I do my lesson indoors.

@JoeMcCarthy09 @USA_Lacrosse @NCAALAX @MLL_Lacrosse Any special rules that you are using? What type of ball?

Last week was skill & knowledge development. This week we transferred those skills into game play. ⁦@USA_Lacrosse⁩ ⁦@NCAALAX⁩ ⁦@MLL_Lacrosse⁩

Another year of the game Champion Lacrosse. 14 yarn balls, 10 pins on each side, 3 teams, make a neutral zone. 2:00 time limits. Students enjoyed this last game of unit to wrap up our lacrosse skills.

@ErikDanielsonPE I recommend yarn balls if indoors for safety. It’s a fun activity to teach. Search “ @bleesspe lacrosse” for more ideas.

Working on shooting and goalie skills in lacrosse. The class watched a short video with Paul Rabil showing how to shoot @ goal. We used a yarn ball! Before using goalies, we practiced with empty goals.

@GVPPE 😂

Mr Yule was telling the Kindergarteners about how his favorite Valentine’s candy is Sardines! Both he and Mr D thought they’d prove it today.

@teachpe24 Looks good Mike!

Started a rolling unit in #physed with an activity called, Ultimate Bowling. Thanks to @BleessPE for the idea. Instructions in video
