Here’s a great agility game called Foosball.

Defense- 2 athletes at foul line, mid court, other foul line. They can only move laterally (aka foosball)

Offense- 6 athletes trying to go end to end w/out getting tagged. Start over if you get tagged.

2-3 minutes then switch. Fun

RPS RUNNNNNNN.....
Wait I won?
Wait I lost?
Wait do I grab the noodle?
Wait do I run?
Wait am I being chased?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤪 🤪
Heart pumping and brain teasing, and lots of laughs!

Check out these wonderful cupcake 🧁 studies by 8B1! I am absolutely blown away by the level of understanding and attention to detail. These lot are probably the chattiest class I’ve ever taught BUT they are certainly the most impressive 😅 WELL DONE PAWB! #studentartwork #ks3art

A great #physed resource (created by Spencer Barfuss @physed).
This nifty Google doc will point you to all kinds of Videos, tweets, and Pics of TONS of activities and skills.

See what your fellow professionals have done with Noodles, Paddles, balls, etc!

[Mike Graham @pe4everykid]

Decorate the Cookie with Kindergarten. Exploring ways of tossing at a target and experimenting with different forces. #physed

[Mike Graham @pe4everykid]

Champions & Challengers - working on throwing for accuracy. A versatile activity that runs itself. Frees me up to assess throwing form during gameplay. #PhysEd

[Mike Graham @pe4everykid]

So easy, even kindergarten can play “Around the World” 😁 Math integration, number recognition, basic addition, <>=, counting, #PhysEd

[Mike Graham @pe4everykid]

Kids love to show off during the last 2 minutes of the activity! We call this “Showtime” (thanks @physedreview) Students make up a trick using their equipment safely and can show me or other students in the class. We get some really creative tricks! #PhysEd

[Mike Graham @pe4everykid]

Have LOVED using the @FloormarX floor markers this year for line up and home base spots. In the process of transitioning my gym space to accommodate full class sizes this week. #PhysEd

[Dylan Irvine @whec_principal]

It’s almost time to get back on the water, and this year @whec_avrce students will be carving their own paddles to use in our training and tripping this spring! 🛶

Added another station to my balance and tumbling stations today. The neat thing is the students could change the level of difficulty. #physed
