@AmberReaver Two teams identified by scooter color. put cones for goals on both ends of gym. Ball start in middle- each round assign 2 goalies to stay back and defend. Everyone else must ride on their bottoms and try to get either ball past the other teams goal line.

When a rainy day won’t let us get outside for “real” soccer we adjust and play Rocket League Soccer! My students go crazy for any Omnikin Ball games!

@angelaefburgos They used to cheaper, but have gone WAY up in price in recent years. The cars can be any kind of a scooter- those can vary in price.

@EricRountree5 These are the largest ones they make (I think). They are 4’ high when inflated. They never go that high for this game. I have some smaller ones I use for volleyball. They don’t take out ceiling tiles. If anything they are safer/better.

Bounce Buckets: I got the idea for this game from @justybubPE . Simple game to reinforce good sportsmanship practices.

[Mr. Clark's Gym @MrClarksGym]

Pass the Bucket (leveled challenges). Great Teamwork Activity that kids can progress and level up through as they have success. Explanation in the videos.

After great conversations about what they look like, sound like and feel like in PE class, everyone signs the All Star Action posters for Accountability!

@DriemeyerPE @Dadaughtrey Mines not really a tag game. You have another version? How’s it go?

[Mr. Clark's Gym @MrClarksGym]

Spaghetti and Meatballs- my students love this warm-up game.

@toe431 I play this with grades 1-3.

Robin’s Nest Soccer: Teams of 3 with 2 soccer balls per team on the middle. Can take one away every 3-4 rounds to make more challenging. More description in video.

@GarfieldPhysEd I’ve found that if I just ask “any questions” I get the “what ifs” but if I ask “any questions about what you can or cannot do in this activity” it lessens. Not sure why but it does seem to help.

[Mr. Clark's Gym @MrClarksGym]

@toe431 One pin = one burpee, 2 pins = 2 lunges, etc. So the more pins you knock down the more exercises you get to give to your group.

All set for Fitness Bowling.

Bowling Hack #2: Use Dot Stickers to create easy/cheap bowling ball stickers to reward strikes, spares, behavior, or whatever… I make sure everyone has one by the end of class.

Bingo Bowling is a huge hit at Forest Hills.

PE Bowling Hack: I bet a lot of you have carts like this at your school. They perfectly hold 12 bowling balls.
