Sideways Tag in #physed with all grade levels. Can work inside or outside with minimal equipment. Taggers stay on the line, but add more to make the game more challenging.

@MsB_teaches_PE Students work in partners. One of them is the invader, which try and get a bean bag from another hula hoop. If successful, they bring it back to their hula hoop. The other partner is the guard, which guards the beam bags.

[Mike O'Donnell @teachpe24]

Invaders. Our instant activity this week in #physed for grades 3-5. A Great way to practice our safe invasion skills.

[Mike O'Donnell @teachpe24]

Started a rolling unit in #physed with an activity called, Ultimate Bowling. Thanks to @BleessPE for the idea. Instructions in video
