Ss have been asking to use scooters. After safety on scooters and game rules… We played:

🦛Hungry Hungry Hippos! 🦛

For an extra safety precaution we put mats over the scooters. We had a blast!

As our year comes full circle, we’re fine tuning communication while playing ⭕️Hoop It Up⭕️

Watch our Ss work on:
•Communication
•Team work
•Display sportsmanship.

**Variation: one partner has their eyes closed and the other partner leads.

Perfect Pass: another great warm-up game for the Ss! 🟢🔵🔴🟠🟡🟣

It’s been highly requested.
Ss: 🗣, teamwork, ✋🏾👀, and enjoy!

Thanks @PhysedGames #engagedlearning #skilldevelopment

#Tchoukball practice for our EL Ss! Our amazing HS Ss volunteering their lunches to work on skill building.

A classic ✋🏾👁 coordination with a smaller ball- develops skill and movement abilities. Thrower keeps the catcher guessing.
