MOVE THE PIN-BATTLE MODE! Students (1 or 2 on each side) battle each other to move the pin towards the other team’s side and knock it down on the last spot to win. Pin starts on white spot. Used for underhand throwing here but can be utilized with plenty of skills! #PhysEd

Just the 5th winner this year, of the Intercontinental Behavior Championship belt! I award this to students who I catch going out of their way to help others during class. He’ll get a phone call home later :). It’s the little things that all add up to your culture and climate :).

@deterball 3rd-5th but younger grades can do it as well. For them, I add in a 6 foot and 5 foot hoop as additional choices, so everyone can be successful.

BOARDGAME BASKETBALL !!!!

Watch the video for my set up and rules. My students lose their marbles over this super engaging, competitive team activity working on the set shot. #physed

@Jme_K I really am! I love my school :). Single classes on Monday and Tuesday, doubles Wed-Fri.

!!! CIRCLEBALL !!!

One of my students’ favorite striking activities and great lead up to spikeball and balloon/paddle striking. Watch the video for my rules and gym set-up. If a student gets scored on, they simply move to another court, wait for their turn, and serve!

@project_physed Thanks for the shoutout Drew Burris! I hope all is well buddy :)

MAGIC CLUB

Leveled, self throwing and catching warm up that so many of us use. Watch until the end and pause to see my set up for 4th and 5th grades. This paired perfectly with “Make it Take it” afterwards, a partner throwing and catching activity (thus the spots).

@kim_brehm Same here! We call it Lucky Charms and use mats. Love the idea of the coins :)

MONSTER HOUSE!! Someone tag the originator please, I can’t remember. Ss (groups of 2-3) take turns trying to steal candy/bean bag from the monsters w/out being tagged. The 2 groups w/ most candy become monsters in next rd. My students loooooooved this one. #PhysEd

@CoachCosgrove_ Basically Line Tag (all players, including tagger(s) must stay on floor lines) but if you get tagged, freeze and do the 6-7 hand gesture and call out “6-7!”. Classmate must come by dab you up to get you back in. Nothing incredibly creative but they were freaking out!!!

[Rob Pohlner @pohlnerpe]

I’m pretty sure my students are going to freak out when they come into the gym and see today’s warm-up on the screen! #ifyoucantbeatemjoinem

[Rob Pohlner @pohlnerpe]

4 teams must travel across the gym, w/out touching the floor, using only their team’s equip. 1st team to get every player to the opposite mat wins. Middle mat is checkpoint that all can use

[Rob Pohlner @pohlnerpe]

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Easily my students’ favorite cooperative activity. So much communication, teamwork and problem solving :). #physed

[Rob Pohlner @pohlnerpe]

@MrBonesPE I love it!!! From Maryland to Singapore. The power of X!!!

I never thought my usual, Field Day tomfoolery would go viral! Over 1 million views! #TikTok https://t.co/6voIK5T7zn

@Ajhicks11 There are 2 sets of twin taggers who must keep their feet in their hoop. All other kids are twins on “twin scooters”. If tagged, turn scooter over and head over to bleachers. The pair must transfer a ball from one hoop to another, without touching it (using speed stack cups).

[Rob Pohlner @pohlnerpe]

!!! TWIN TAG !!!!

Sooo much cooperation and communication, and laughs!!! Take a look and a listen for directions!!! #PhysEd
