…click a category above for great p.e. games, category: gr 3, grok’s game.

Grade level: K-8 Equipment: Various obstacles (mats, beams, hurdles), small objects (bean bags, balls, etc) Game Description: Yes, this game was created by A.I…. a bit scary isn’t it? To be honest, it’s actually not a bad game idea which is why I decided to post it. This game could be played indoors or outdoors. The more creative the obstacle course, the better I’m sure! Don’t forget to subscribe to a real human being (that’s me) before A.I takes over my job. And yours…

Guardians of the Galaxy

Grade level: K-8 Equipment: Cones, Foam balls, Math/Word Cards Game Description: Another true winner of a game (awesome idea thanks to David Isenberg). This one is cross-curricular, or also AKA literacy/numeracy. A little bit of pre-game work needs to be done here, but not much. You need to make some cards out of paper. These could be math problems, word or vowel cards, geography, science, etc, depending what you want to accomplish. You’ll make 50-100 of these cards and place them down on the floor. Then you’ll make relay teams, and teams will try to collect the cards and place them in the right category on the answer sign. There will be guardians who are assigned to try to protect the cards though…it’s a super fun, non-stop action and learning game all in one!

Home Free Bad Guy Blob Tag

Grade level: 1-6 Equipment: Hula hoops, pool noodles Game Description: What a great game, seriously one of the best tag games out there. This is a must play. Lots of Dynamics, lots going on in this unique idea thanks to Dan Penna for another hit.

Grade level: K-4 Equipment: Special Object (ex. trophy, stuffy, Olympic torch) Game Description: Far Away is a super easy and effective game to explore spatial awareness. Players will move around and try to be FAR AWAY from others, teaching safety in numbers and moving to open spaces. (Thanks James Barton for this game idea)

Grade level: 3-8 Equipment: Foam balls, hula hoops, mats, scooters Game Description: Spaceball is a PE Games original game that combines 2 awesome classic dodgeball games into 1 new game, and also includes a space theme.

Mr Wolf Dice Roll

Grade level: K-3 Equipment: 1 Foam Dice Game Description: Another Mr. Wolf type game (modification by Deric Hafer). Good for reaction time, running (or other movement skills) and following directions/commands. Use it in combination with the original or as a stand-alone game!

Freedom Catch

46 Unique Phys Ed Games Your Students Will Love

Get your steps in!

There’s nothing kids need more to break up a day spent sitting still and listening than a fun PE class to let off some steam. In the old days, going to gym class probably included playing kickball or dodgeball after running a few laps. Since then, there have been countless reinventions of and variations on old classics as well as completely new games. Although there is no shortage of options, we love that the supplies required remain relatively minimal. You can transport to another galaxy using just a pool noodle or two or create a life-size game of Connect 4 using just Hula-Hoops. You’ll want to make sure to have some staples on hand like balls, beanbags, and parachutes. There are even PE games for kindergartners based on beloved children’s TV shows and party games. Regardless of your students’ athletic abilities, there is something for everyone on our list of elementary PE games!

1. Tic-Tac-Toe Relay

Elementary PE games that not only get students moving but also get them thinking are our favorites. Grab some Hula-Hoops and a few scarves or beanbags and get ready to watch the fun!

Pick two students to start as the Blob, then as they tag other kids, they will become part of the Blob. Be sure to demonstrate safe tagging, stressing the importance of soft touches.

Line up cones, then have students pair up and stand on either side of a cone. Finally, call out head, shoulders, knees, or cones. If cones is called, students have to race to be the first to pick up their cone before their opponent.

Learn more: Head, Shoulders, Knees & Cones at S&S Blog

5. Spider Ball

Elementary PE games are often variations of dodgeball like this one. One or two players start with the ball and attempt to hit all of the runners as they run across the gym or field. If a player is hit, they can then join in and become a spider themselves.

Learn more: Spider Ball Game at Kid Activities

6. Crab Soccer

We love elementary PE games that require students to act like animals (and we think they will too). Similar to regular soccer, but students will need to play on all fours while maintaining a crab-like position.

Learn more: Crab Soccer at Playworks

7. Halloween Tag

This is the perfect PE game to play in October. It’s similar to tag, but there are witches, wizards, and blobs with no bones!

Learn more: Halloween Tag at The Physical Educator

8. Crazy Caterpillars

We love that this game is not only fun but also works on students’ hand-eye coordination. Students will have fun pushing their balls around the gym with pool noodles while building their caterpillars.

9. Monster Ball

You’ll need a large exercise ball or something similar to act as the monster ball in the middle. Make a square around the monster ball, divide the class into teams on either side of the square, then task the teams with throwing small balls at the monster ball to move it into the other team’s area.

Learn more: Monster Ball at The PE Specialist

10. Striker Ball

Striker ball is an enjoyable game that will keep your students entertained while working on reaction time and strategic planning. We love that there is limited setup required before playing.

Learn more: Striker Ball at S&S Blog

11. Parachute Tug-of-War

What list of elementary PE games would be complete without some parachute fun? So simple yet so fun, all you will need is a large parachute and enough students to create two teams. Have students stand on opposite sides of the parachute, then let them compete to see which side comes out on top.

Learn more: Parachute Tug-of-War at Mom Junction

12. Fleas Off the Parachute

Another fun parachute game where one team needs to try to keep the balls (fleas) on the parachute and the other tries to get them off.

Learn more: Fleas Off the Parachute at Mom Junction

13. Crazy Ball

The setup for this fun game is similar to kickball, with three bases and a home base. Crazy ball really is so crazy as it combines elements of football, Frisbee, and kickball!

Learn more: Crazy Ball at Health Beet

14. Bridge Tag

This game starts as simple tag but evolves into something more fun once the tagging begins. Once tagged, kids must form a bridge with their body and they can’t be freed until someone crawls through.

Learn more: Bridge Tag at Great Camp Games

15. Star Wars Tag

Elementary PE games that allow you to be your favorite movie character are just way too much fun! You will need two different-colored pool noodles to stand in for lightsabers. The tagger will have one color pool noodle that they use to tag students while the healer will have the other color that they will use to free their friends.

Learn more: Star Wars Tag at Great Camp Games

16. Rob the Nest

Create an obstacle course that leads to a nest of eggs (balls) and then divide the students into teams. They will have to race relay-style through the obstacles to retrieve eggs and bring them back to their team.

17. Four Corners

We love this classic game since it engages students physically while also working on color recognition for younger students. Have your students stand on a corner, then close their eyes and call out a color. Students standing on that color earn a point.

Learn more: Four Corners at The Many Little Joys

18. Movement Dice

This is a perfect warm-up that requires only a die and a sheet with corresponding exercises.

Learn more: Roll the Dice Movement Break at Teaching Littles

19. Rock, Paper, Scissors Tag

A fun spin on tag, children will tag one another and then play a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who has to sit and who gets to continue playing.

Learn more: Rock, Paper, Scissors Tag at Grade Onederful

20. Cornhole Cardio

This one is so fun but can be a little bit confusing, so be sure to leave plenty of time for instruction. Kids will be divided into teams before proceeding through a fun house that includes cornhole, running laps, and stacking cups.

Learn more: Cardio Cornhole at S&S Blog

21. Connect 4 Relay

This relay takes the game Connect 4 to a whole new level. Players must connect four dots either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

22. Zookeepers

Students will love imitating their favorite animals while playing this fun variation of Four Corners where the taggers are the zookeepers.

23. Racket Whack-It

Students stand with rackets in hand while balls are thrown at them—they must either dodge the balls or swat them away.

Learn more: Racket Whack-It via PEgames.org

24. Crazy Moves

Set mats out around the gym, then yell out a number. Students must race to the mat before it is already filled with the correct number of bodies.

Learn more: Crazy Moves at PEgames.org

25. Wheelbarrow Race

Sometimes the best elementary PE games are the simplest. An oldie but a goodie, wheelbarrow races require no equipment and are guaranteed to be a hit with your students.

Learn more: Wheelbarrow Race at wikiHow

26. Live-Action Pac-Man

Fans of retro video games like Pac-Man will get a kick out of this live-action version where students get to act out the characters.

27. Spaceship Tag

Give each of your students a Hula-Hoop (spaceship), then have them run around trying not to bump into anyone else’s spaceship or get tagged by the teacher (alien). Once your students get really good at it, you can add different levels of complexity.

28. Rock, Paper, Scissors Beanbag Balance

We love this spin on Rock, Paper, Scissors because it works on balance and coordination. Students walk around the gym until they find an opponent, then the winner collects a beanbag, which they must balance on their head!

Learn more: Rock, Paper, Scissors Beanbag Balance at PE Universe

29. Throwing, Catching, and Rolling

This is a fun activity but it will require a lot of preparation, including asking the school maintenance staff to collect industrial-sized paper towel rolls. We love this activity because it reminds us of the old-school arcade game Skee-Ball!

Learn more: Winter Activity at S&S Blog

30. Jenga Fitness

Although Jenga is fun enough on its own, combining it with fun physical challenges is sure to be a winner with young students.

Learn more: Jenga Fitness at S&S Blog

31. Volcanoes and Ice Cream Cones

Divide the class into two teams, then assign one team as volcanoes and the other as ice cream cones. Next, spread cones around the gym, half upside down and half right side up. Finally, have the teams race to flip as many cones as possible to either volcanoes or ice cream cones.

Learn more: Warm-Up Games at Prime Coaching Sport

This fun variation on dodgeball will have your students getting exercise while having a ton of fun! Begin with three balls on a basketball court. If you are hit by a ball, you are out. If you take a step while holding a ball, you are out. There are other rules surrounding getting out and also how to get back in, which can be found in this video.

33. Musical Hula-Hoops

PE games for kindergartners that are similar to party games are some of our favorites! Think musical chairs but with Hula-Hoops! Lay enough Hula-Hoops around the edge of the gym minus five students since they will be in the muscle pot. Once the music starts, students walk around the gym. When the music stops, whoever doesn’t find a Hula-Hoop becomes the new muscle pot!

34. 10-Second Tag

This game is perfect to play at the beginning of the year since it helps with learning names and allows the teacher to get to know the first student in line.

35. The Border

This game is so fun and requires no equipment whatsoever. Divide the gym into two sides. One side can move freely while the other side must avoid letting their feet touch the floor by rolling around, crawling, etc.

36. Freedom Catch

This is a simple throwing, catching, and tag game that will certainly be a hit with your PE class. Captors attempt to tag players so they can send them to jail. You can be freed if someone on your team runs to a freedom cone while throwing a ball to the jailed person. If the ball is caught by the jailed person, they can rejoin the game.

37. Oscar’s Trashcan

As far as PE games for kindergartners goes, this one is a guaranteed winner since it is based on the show Sesame Street . You’ll need two large areas that can be sectioned off to use as trash cans and also a lot of medium-size balls. There are two teams who must compete to fill their opponent’s trash can while emptying their own. Once over, the trash will be counted and the team with the least amount of trash in their trash can wins!

38. 4-Way Frisbee

Divide your class into four separate teams, who will compete for points by catching a Frisbee inside one of the designated goal areas. Defenders are also able to go into the goal areas. There are a number of other rules that can be applied so you can modify the game in a way that’s best for your class.

39. Badminton King’s/Queen’s Court

This one is simple but fun since it is played rapid-fire with kids waiting their turn to take on the King or Queen of the court. Two players start and as soon as a point is earned, the loser swaps places with another player. The goal is to be the player that stays on the court the longest, consistently knocking out new opponents.

40. Jumping and Landing Stations

Kids love stations and they definitely love jumping, so why not combine those things into one super-fun gym class? They’ll have a blast challenging themselves with all the different obstacles presented in this video.

41. Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course

Regardless of whether you’ve ever seen an episode of American Ninja Warrior , you are probably familiar with the concept and so are your students. Plus, you’ll probably have just as much fun as your students setting up the obstacles and testing them out!

42. Balloon Tennis

Since kids love playing keepy-uppy with a balloon, they will love taking it a step further with balloon tag!

43. Indoor Putting Green

If your school can afford to invest in these unique putting green sets, you can introduce the game of golf to kids as young as kindergarten. Who knows, you might just have a future Masters winner in your class!

44. Scooter Activities

Let’s be honest, we all have fond memories of using scooters in gym class. Regardless of whether you do a scooter sleigh or scooter hockey, we think there is something for everyone in this fun video.

45. Pick It Up

This is the perfect PE game to play if you are stuck in a small space with a good-size group. Teams win by making all of their beanbag shots and then collecting all of their dots and stacking them into a nice neat pile.

46. Dodgeball Variations

Since not all kids love having balls thrown at them, why not try a dodgeball alternative that uses gym equipment as targets rather than fellow students? For example, have each student stand in front of a Hula-Hoop with a bowling ball inside of it. Students need to protect their hoop while attempting to knock over their opponents’ pins.

50 Fun PE Games Your Students Will Love

by Sara Ipatenco

Kids naturally love PE because it’s a time to be active and play fun games. An essential part of the school day, PE teaches kids the life skill of getting regular exercise. While playing the same old games over and over again can get a bit boring, incorporating a wide variety of games into your lesson plans helps keep PE fun and engaging. With a few PE staples, such as foam balls, hula hoops, and bean bags, your students will be having fun in no time! Here are 50 PE games to get you started.

1. Blob tag

Choose one child to be “it.” As that child tags other children, they link arms or hold hands to create a “blob.” The game continues until the blob has tagged everyone in the game.

2. Chain tag

This is kind of like blob tag, but instead of forming a blob, students must link arms to form a chain.

3. Bean bag balance

Give each student a bean bag. Ask the students to balance their bean bags on various parts of their body, such as their foot or knee. See how long the students can balance before they move off their bean bag falls. Give increasingly hard challenges as you go, such as on the shoulder or the thumb.

4. Clap and catch

Arrange your class into a large circle. Give one player the ball and have them get ready to toss it. Players must clap before they catch the ball. If a student doesn’t clap or drop the ball, they are out.

5. Animal races

Line your PE class up at one end of the gym or playing field for this game. Call out an animal, such as a cheetah or a frog, and students have to race to the other end, running like that animal.

This is another racing game that starts with lining your students up on one end of the playing field. Every time you yell, “jump,” students jump as far as they can. Repeat until the winning player reaches the end of the field or until the whole class finishes.

7. Bridge tag

This game starts as regular tag, but each time a student is tagged he must kneel and form a bridge. Players can rejoin the game when another player crawls under their bridge, which frees them.

8. Crab soccer

This game follows the rules of traditional soccer, but players crab walk instead of regular running.

9. Step back

Put your class into teams of two. Have them stand about three feet apart and roll a hula hoop to each other. Once the other person catches the hula hoop, they must take a large step backward and continue playing. As they get further apart, the game gets more challenging.

10. Freeze tag

This is another tag game that starts out like traditional tag. However, once a student is tagged, they are “frozen” until another player tags them. They can then rejoin the game. The last player to be frozen gets to be “it” on the next round.

11. Parachute change

Arrange your students around a large parachute. Call out things like colors the students are wearing or birthday months. Any player who fits the category you call out has to run under the parachute and switch places with someone else.

12. Parachute volleyball

Have your students arrange themselves around a parachute. One half of the parachute is team A while the other half is team B. Put a beach ball in the middle of the parachute. The objective is to launch the ball off the parachute and over the heads of the opposing team, which scores one point.

13. Banana tag

Spread your students around the play area and choose two kids to be “it.” They are the monkeys. When they tag another student, he turns into a banana and must put both arms straight up above his head. Other players can free the “bananas” by peeling them, which means they pull down one arm and then the other arm.

14. Teacher island

This PE game includes the teacher! Stand on a stool and have a bunch of cones or balls handy. Start throwing them toward the students, who are spread out around you. If a student fails to make a catch, he is out. Play continues until only one student is left.

15. Throw archery

Set up five jump ropes at various distances from where your students will stand. Give them bean bags and have them try to get them past the different jump ropes. The further away the jump rope, the more points the student gets. For example, getting the bean bag past the first jump rope is worth ten points while getting it past the last jump rope is worth fifty points.

16. Crazy moves

Set out several mats around the play area. Start calling out numbers and that number of kids need to find a mat and stand on it together as fast as they can. Any student who doesn’t find a mat is out.

17. Rob the nest

Set up the game by putting a hula hoop (nest) in each corner of the play area and ten or more basketballs in the middle of the play area. Divide the class into 4 teams, one at each hula hoop. Students take turns getting a basketball and dribbling it to their hoop. Any time you blow the whistle, students can steal basketballs from other nests. The winner of each round is the one with the most basketballs when you blow the whistle a second time.

18. Tic-Tac-Throw

Set up nine hula hoops in a 3×3 grid, like a tic-tac-toe board. Make enough grids so you can divide your class into teams of two. Give the teams two different colors of bean bags. The students will throw the bean bags into the hula hoops trying to get three in a row.

19. Bounce into buckets

Set up enough buckets in the middle of the play area that there is one for each group of two kids. At each bucket, have one student on each side. The kids take turns trying to bounce balls into the buckets. Make it more challenging by having the students back up further from the bucket as they go.

20. Backward soccer

Play this game just like you would regular soccer but turn the soccer goals around backward.

21. Speed ball

This PE game combines basketball and soccer. Divide your students into two teams and give them a rubber ball to play with. Play starts with students passing the ball to other players on their team. There is no bounce passing in this game. If the ball hits the floor, the game switches to soccer.

22. Pool noodle archery

Have one student hold up a hula hoop while another child tries to launch pool noodles through the hoop. Once a student gets a noodle through, the players switch places.

23. Kangaroos and Crocs

Divide your class into two teams – one team will be kangaroos and the other team will be crocs. Have the teams line up back-to-back in the middle of the play area. Call out one of the animals. That team will try to make it to the end of the play area without getting tagged by the other team. Anyone tagged sits down and is out. Play continues with additional rounds.

24. Noodle hockey

Play a traditional PE game of court hockey but use pool noodles and a small plastic ball instead of hockey sticks and a puck.

25. Continuity ball

Have your students spread out in the play area. Give them one beach ball and challenge them to keep it from hitting the ground. Gradually add more beach balls until you have several going at the same time.

26. Birds on a branch

Set up two balance beams and split the class into two teams. Have the teams line up on the balance beams and call out directions, such as “stand on one foot” or “put your arms above your head.” If a student falls off the beam, he is out. The winning team is the one who keeps the most “birds” on their branch.

27. Shark zone

Set up mats, hula hoops, and other PE equipment around the gym. Use items that students can stand on or inside of. These are shark-free zones. Identify one or two students as sharks. When you say go, players will run around the gym standing on mats or inside hula hoops to stay away from the sharks. If a student fails to get to a safe area before being tagged, they are out.

28. Cats and mice

Give each student a scarf – one color for cats and one color for mice. Have them tuck the scarves into their back pockets or waistband as tails. Cats will chase mice and mice will chase cats. If the opposite team catches a tail, they keep it. The winning team is the one who steals all the tails first.

29. Tunnels and trains

Choose two students to start out as trains. The rest of the students put their hands and feet on the floor creating a tunnel with their bodies. The trains must crawl through the tunnels. When a train goes through the tunnel, that student joins the tunnel at the front and the next student at the back of the tunnel turns into a train. Play continues until all students have become trains.

30. Noisy running

Explain to students that you will be playing music and the louder the music gets the faster they need to run around the play area. As you turn down the volume, they will slow their running.

31. Freeze dance

Play some upbeat dance music and encourage students to free dance. When you stop the music, they must freeze. Any student who doesn’t freeze is out.

32. Eight dance

Choose one student to start the game. Turn on some upbeat music and have the student demonstrate any move they want, such as jumping or spinning in circles. The rest of the students must copy the move eight times. Let all the children have a turn to be the instructor.

33. British bulldogs

Choose one student to be the bulldog. He stands in the middle of the play area. The rest of the players try to get past the bulldog without getting tagged.

34. Body part tag

This game is played like traditional tag except that whatever body part gets tagged cannot be used anymore. If a student gets tagged on the arm, they cannot use their arm anymore. If he gets tagged on the leg, he has to hop on the other leg.

35. Crab Kickball

This game is played just like traditional kickball except that students must walk and play in the crab walk position.

36. Broom hockey

This is a PE game played like regular hockey except students use brooms instead of hockey sticks.

37. Hop in a hoop

Lay out several hula hoops in the play area. Have students run around the hoops while you play music. When you stop the music, students must hop into a hula hoop – one student per hoop. Students who don’t have a hoop are out.

38. Hot potato

Arrange your students in a circle and give them a small ball. They will pass the ball around the circle until you blow the whistle. The student holding the ball when the whistle blows is out.

39. Scooter tag

This PE game is played just like traditional tag except students must play by sitting on and moving around on scooters.

40. Bucketball

This game is played just like regular basketball except students use a bucket instead of the usual basketball hoop.

Break your class into small teams of 5 or 6 players. Give one student from each group a jump rope. That student will spin the jump rope on the ground while the other members of the group jump over it. If the “snake” touches a student, they are out.

42. Shipwreck or Captain Says

This is a game that puts a twist on the traditional “Simon Says.” Line your students up and start calling out commands that have to do with ships and pirates, such as “swab the deck” or “walk the plank.” Instead of saying “Simon says,” you’ll say, “Captain says.”

43. Hula hoop tag

This is another version of traditional tag. Students follow the same rules as regular tag, but they must spin a hula hoop while they run around.

44. Museum guard

This game is like freeze tag. Students will tiptoe silently around the play area pretending to sneak around a museum. When you call out “museum guard” they must freeze. Students who don’t freeze are out.

45. Mirror, Mirror

Divide your class into teams of two. Have them stand facing each other. One person does a move, and the other students must copy the move. Continue playing, encouraging students to make the movements harder and more complicated.

46. Backward tag

Play this game just like regular tag except students can only walk or run backward during play.

47. Alligators in the swamp

Choose several students to be alligators and have them lay on their stomachs in the middle of the play area. Spread them out so there are several feet between each alligator. The rest of the class starts on one end of the play area and has to try to get past the alligators. If an alligator tags them, they are out.

48. Sleeping baby

Students run around the play area until they hear the teacher yell, “sleeping baby.” At this point, all the kids drop to the floor and pretend to be sleeping. The last student to “fall asleep” is out.

49. Garbage tag

Wad up a bunch of pieces of paper to be the garbage. Choose one student to be “it.” That person starts to throw the garbage at the other players. Any player hit with a piece of garbage is out.

50. Lighthouse and ships

Place several obstacles around the gym, such as cones or mats. Students will close their eyes and pretend to be ships trying to get to the lighthouse. If they run into one of the obstacles, their ship is sunk and they are out.

PE class is about to get so much more fun for your students! Any of these games are sure to make PE their favorite class of the day.

Virtual Physical Education Activities for Grades 3-5

Virtual physical education activities can be found in detail here! If you are new to my blog and teach grades younger than 3-5, check out my most current post Virtual Physical Education Activities for K-2 to see how I make virtual PE easy for the littler ones.

Or if you teach middle school check out Virtual Physical Education Activities for Middle School.

Also, you can find a quick summary of how many days a week I teach and what my virtual PE schedule looks like here .

Before we get to the good parts like the different virtual physical activities I do during our Google Meets, I want to explain how I set my 3-5 Google Classroom up.

Since I teach K-8, I have one Google Classroom for K-2, another one for 3-5 and lastly 6-8 share a classroom. Below you will see how 3-5 is set up and how students are to access work and get grades.

Google Classroom Setup for 3-5:

There are similarities between the K- 2 and 3-5 Google Classrooms, but a little more work needs to be done from the older students.

The first things kids and parents will see on my Google Classroom stream is the “How To Navigate My Classroom” section.

There is also a video of me explaining the exact same thing to the kids/parents where I share my screen and am able to visually explain expectations.

Physical Activities and Classwork:

Since I only see my 3-5 grades on Tuesdays, I have my Google Classroom set up where my students can do asynchronous work the rest of the week.

As you can see it is very similar to K-2. Every day the kids do not see me on Google Meet, they have different virtual physical activities to do on their own. It always relates to what we are learning that week. I find activities that work with all three grade levels, but may change virtual physical activities between grades when we meet on GM.

Each PA builds on something we worked on this week, or the previous weeks. In the picture above I am combining the health related fitness components which we worked on in weeks previously, with the skill related fitness components that we worked on more recently.

If at any time the students want to look back at previous virtual physical activities or information on classwork, they can shuffle through all of the topics on the side of their screen.

Graded Work

Since their virtual physical activities are not graded, you’re probably wondering how I keep track of work. Every week the students will have either a reflection to fill out, or have to watch a health video and answer a specific question that relates.

Notice the explosion emoji before the words What is a Calorie? That means that something is due to me. Every week it has remained the same. Students are familiar enough with my page that they know as soon as they see the explosion pop up Monday morning in their weeks work, that they must complete the assignment by Thursday night at 11:59pm. This gives me time on Friday to enter in grades.

Now what happens to the kids that don’t turn in their work? That is going to happen and it may happen often.

What I do is remind them to get their work in during our live sessions. By Friday I will know who turned in their assignments or not, and jot their names and grade down. Then without telling them, I let them earn their full points during our PE session. I may call on those students before others, or spend a little more time making sure they are engaged and participating in our activities.

The reason for this leniency is to ensure they pass my class with a well deserved grade. They might not be getting the help they need at home, and I cannot fault them for that.

After 9 weeks I can tell who is giving me their all in my class and who is trying to get by with doing the bare minimum. I also have to consider that my student’s went from not having to complete online assignments every week, to now that is how they get their main grade.

It doesn’t seem fair to those who struggle with reading and writing. That’s why the live participation check balances everything out for us.

Virtual Physical Activities for 3-5 on Google Meet:

After you have your classroom all set up it’s time for the fun part of your remote job. Teaching the kids online!

K-2 was very cross curricular dominant. And while I do carry over what the students learned in the classroom for grades 3-5, a lot of the content is more PE related.

For the middle grades, most the times they do the same activities, and I just change my verbiage to simpler terms for the younger kids. So I am going to group 3-5 together, but specify any differences that might occur such as the warm ups and stretching between them.

Live PE for 3-5 classes is structured as shown below:

Stretching/Flexibility

Pe content/activity.

• Cooldown Breathing

Who doesn’t like to start class with some excitement! First I ask if anyone wants to share, and I’ll call on the kids with their hands up one by one. And we have about a 10-15 second conversation each. If only a couple kids volunteer, I might call on random kids and ask them how their weekend was.

Good conversation flowing throughout their screens lets them know I care about them, and genuinely want to hear about their lives. Over time they have been wanting to share more and more.

We don’t spend any more than 3 minutes here, and a lot of the time kids come to class early so we get to sneak some extra chit chat into our Google Meets.

THIRD GRADE

Since my third graders are still my little babies to me, I tend to keep them on the same warm up track as 2nd grade. The YouTube channel PE Bowman that I have talked about in the K-2 virtual physical activities post, has been coming out with some new videos. I highly recommend subscribing to this channel.

Anyways, the warm up videos don’t always relate to the content, but are extremely fun and interactive. Since a lot of my students are based out of Detroit, I like to keep their classes relevant to their lives as well.

For instance, there is a local dance group called Fresh the Clowns who now tour all over the U.S. But the cool thing about them is that a lot of the kids have meet them at birthday parties, and I also brought them into the school for a dance assembly.

What I sometimes do is start them off with one of my favorite videos from Fresh the Clowns and tell the kids they can either copy the dance moves, make up their own or do some sort of movement like jumping jacks and squats for the full 1:44.

https://youtu.be/cNt7C2Ao5do

This group does all the popular dance moves of the younger generations and chances are your students may have heard of them already. If they haven’t check out their YouTube channel for some fun videos you can share.

FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE

Fitness Blender YouTube channel has great 5 minute warm up videos. If I know I have a lot of content to cover, I will cut the video off halfway, but for the most part the students enjoy working through the whole warm up.

Another reason I like their channel, is because their demonstrations are easy to mimic. The narrator talks through every motion making it easy for kids to focus on the activity rather than keeping their eyes glued to the screen to try to figure out what the demonstration looks like.

THIRD GRADE:

While working pretty closely with the 3rd grade teacher, she tells me that her students are struggling with odds and even numbers. So during our stretching that’s what we practice. This week the kids were called on one at a time to count to 30 by odds or evens.

They are doing so well!

Not only are they learning what muscles they are stretching as we go, they are getting practice counting while multitasking. We’re trying to keep them sharp!

FORTH AND FIFTH GRADE

We don’t do much skip counting in these grades, but we do focus more on the muscles. I will ask them where certain muscles are such as their quadriceps, triceps or abdomen and they have to point. then we stretch them. Simplifying each muscle is a must too!

When we do our quadricep stretch they should know in simpler terms they are stretching “the front of the leg” and hamstrings would be “the back of the leg”. Getting them familiar with where their muscles are is an important part of the PE curriculum.

As we have gotten further into our online PE class, they are more comfortable using the correct names for the muscles.

This is the part of the classes where 3-5 does the same activities. Like I said earlier, I might use more age appropriate verbiage for each grade.

About 10 minutes into class, is when we dive into information I want them to learn about physical education. Normally I present this information through google slides and share my screen.

As you can see from my Google Classroom set up, the content follows a specific order. In the beginning of the trimester we dove into the 5 health related fitness components. I found workouts that we could do that related to 1-2 different components a day.

More recently my kids have been learning about the skill related fitness components . It is somewhat early according to their age and grade, but most of them are currently on sports teams. Might as well help them understand how to get better in their specific sports.

One example video I want to share is a reaction time challenge below. All students need is two balled up pair of socks. I tell my kids if they don’t have the exact materials I am working with then to be creative. Dog toys, pencils, spoons or literally anything else that fits into their hands will work.

We spend some time practicing and I let the students practice off mute so we can all have fun with each other.

Another example of building on the skill related fitness knowledge would be the video below. I have been getting more specific with certain sports so they don’t lose interest in just working out. While still being able to get away with limited resources such as soccer balls, basketballs or volleyballs. This video includes a soccer ball. My students are always able to do the exercises without any equipment, but if they have the ball or something like it then grab it!

Last week, we finished the skill related fitness theme. I have now moved onto different types of training. HIIT workouts are SO EASY for you to do with your kids, and you can even get creative and have them construct their own once they understand what HIIT actually is.

Last year, I introduced HIIT workouts to my middle schoolers . But now that we have to stay remote, I’m finding HIIT can be taught at an earlier in age.

Here are my two favorite videos I have used for my 3-5 graders today:

• Super Fun KID’S Workout: 8 Minute HIIT Fitness Class for Kids
• SH1FT HIIT FOR KIDS: 20 Minute Workout for Kids

Right before we cool down with our breathing techniques, we do a mini Q&A to see if they retained what they learned.

Cool Down Breathing

Now that the kids are stronger, healthier and smarter after our thirty minute class full of virtual physical activities, it’s time to bring that heart rate back to a resting state.

Five deep breaths in and five deep breaths out lead by myself. I haven’t had one complaint about this 30-40 second cool down yet. It gets the kids ready to head back to their classroom teachers Google Meet.

Closing Thoughts:

The middle grades for me are fun, because you can see them mature right in front of you. They are getting more active in sports, and starting to see your class as a platform to improve on their skills.

Yet they are still young enough to play Balloon Pop warmup games and have the best time.

No matter what age you teach, having a clear organized plan per day, per week, per month, per semester/trimester is going to take your teaching into overdrive. You will enjoy teaching more, and your kids will enjoy your class just as much if you have a clear cut plan on what you’re doing and where you’re going.

Physical Education: Teaching Grades 3 - 6 (Games for Understanding)

Updated: Aug 29, 2021

For many of us, physical education has shaped the way we feel towards the subject. At times, you may have questioned why you had to do it, especially when the weather was unfavorable. For some it may have been the relevance of the activity. Why was physical education in the curriculum? Why did you have to run mile after mile? These questions might have been asked, but not necessarily answered.

In many ways, I think teaching grades 3 – 6 are the most fun, and almost the most significant opportunity you have as PE teacher to establish physical literacy with your students. Children at this age begin to have a real understanding as to “why” they are doing something. The notion behind physical literacy is trying to foster a desire for your students to be life long, physical learners. I feel happy if I can teach a student a game that will get him/her away from the screen or something they play with their friends on the weekend. So, what does this look like in grades 3 – 6?

I think the greatest approach to teaching this age range is the Game Sense Approach Model. The game sense approach model revolves around four pillars:

· Guided inquiry through player problem solving and teacher use of well-considered and targeted questioning

· Game simplification to represent the tactical logic of the game at the student’s level

· Modification of game and player constraints to focus, shape and direct learning

· Classification of games into Net/Court, Target, Invasion and Striking/Fielding games based on similarity in principle of play.

Any PE curriculum map in the primary years should revolve around the 4 types of game sense (invasion, net/court, target and striking/fielding).

In the Game Sense Approach model student learning is driven by refined use of questioning techniques by the teacher, challenging students to think about, and come to an understanding of the playing dimensions of time, space, force and game flow or tempo. The need for more complex skill comes with understanding the complexity of play and developing to meet the performance demands of the game as the game is progressed by us (the teacher) from simple to more complex over time. Your best teacher judgment will come in handy here, but this is where you can progress through modified games. Your judgment will be when to decide to use drill practice vs play practice to improve student development. The Game Sense Approach is not about “kicking a ball and letting students play.” The challenge of the Game Sense Approach is in the design or selection, and then shaping of games to focus the play on the skills to be learned.

What does a Game Sense teaching sequence (lesson) look like?

2. Initial Game

3. Q&A and setting a new challenge (go over your learning intentions for the lesson)

4. Practice Tasks/skill work

5. Game Progression

6. Question and Answer (Did we accomplish our learning goals?)

The lesson can vary from these steps. This is just an example. Teachers may choose to conduct some of the Q&A in the game to progress the learning sequence.

The more significant aspect of the Game Sense Approach is the purposeful teacher use of questioning to guide student learning and help understand game performance. The second aspect of the Game Sense Approach is purposefully teaching the transfer of skills across game categories. For example, cricket and baseball are both striking and fielding games. The requirement of the batter to place the ball into a space away from the fielder to create time for the batter to run without getting out is common to understanding both sports. Understanding this principle can help students transfer skills and adapt to problems presented when learning new games.

I know we as physical educators have heard other teachers or parents OR leadership say “the kids are in P.E. They’re only playing games!” How fantastic is that? Hopefully after reading this article you can explain to them a little bit more just how important Game Sense is to a student’s learning.

The Game Sense Approach allows students to develop cognitive, social and physical skills simultaneously. This learning enhances essential life skills like cooperation and teamwork. The knowledge and skills acquired though the Game Sense Approach are retained longer than information from other learning methods.

It is more than just a game! Happy P.E. teaching 😊

300 students attend Lake Erie Water Festival in Monroe

MONROE — Nearly 300 Monroe County sixth graders participated in Tuesday's Lake Erie Water Festival .

The annual event is hosted by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Senior Living Community and is held at the Motherhouse campus on Elm Avenue. Attending this year were students from Ida Middle School, St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Academy in Newport and Monroe Catholic Elementary Schools.

Students listened to several presenters and visited nine interactive stations. They learned about bees, fishing and ways to keep the water safe.

"The event is designed to help the students learn about our most precious natural resource — clean, fresh water. By teaching them about water quality, organizers hope to inspire the next generation to be great stewards of water resources," said Calley Duffey from the IHM communications department.

Hands-on activities included water testing and composting.

"Perhaps most importantly, students learned about the River Raisin and Lake Erie's central role in the region’s quality of life and how they can protect our water resources," Duffey said.

Students also learned about composting, organic farming, habitat restoration, Lake Erie birds, measuring water quality, macroinvertebrates, soil erosion and bioaccumulation in the Great Lakes. 

Teachers received classroom resources with pre- and post-activities from the Monroe County Intermediate School District.

Presenting partners of the Lake Erie Water Festival were the IHM Sisters, River Raisin Institute and MCISD.

Presenters were from Huron-Clinton Metroparks, St. Mary Organic Farm, Bird Center of Michigan, Monroe Conservation District, Ohio State University Stone Lab, University of Toledo, River Raisin Beekeepers, University of Michigan Dearborn — Environmental Interpretive Center, Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge and the Monroe County Historical Museum.

The festival is free for students. It's offered with support from the Monroe County Environmental Fund,
