Physical education is designed to contribute to
the physical, mental, emotional, and social
development of all students through a range of
skills, equipment, games, and hands on activity.
These are emphasizing in order that all students
can enjoy and benefit regardless of their
individual strengths or limitations. The ultimate
goal is to increase fitness levels of all students
and to encourage lifelong physical activity.
Physical Education motto: “Stay Active, Stay
Strong, Stay Healthy”; “Fit for Life, Fit for
Sport.”

Sports Unit and it is Awesome for
Grades 3-5) Pick this Game 

Purpose/Objective: Introduce students to the concept of a
healthy heart and how different foods and exercise affect
one’s heart. This game is an aerobic activity. Discuss how
watching too much Television can lead to a lack of exercise.
How to much sugar can cause cavities as well as weight
problems along with eating too many fatty foods. Discussion
should be geared to grade level playing game.
Grade Levels: K-5th
Play Area: Gymnasium or Outside
Equipment Needed: 3 Foam balls of different colors and 1
small red ball. Yarn balls may also work well with this game.

Description of Game: The 3 foam or colored balls represent T.V. Sugar and Fat. These balls
are thrown at students below the waist (you can have students tag each other with the balls
as an option instead of throwing).Students hit by the balls are frozen and must wave their
arms above their heads and yell “Healthy Heart Healthy Heart Help me I need Exercise”!!
The small red ball represents a healthy heart and is NOT THROWN. The student with the
healthy heart ball runs around and gently touches students who are yelling for healthy heart.
Once touched frozen students are free to move around again. Every 2-3 minutes stop game
and have students with balls take 3 steps or lees and give the ball to someone who has not yet
had a ball.
Safety Note: Any student who falls down or goes to knees is removed from the remainder of
that round.
Assessment: During activity, observe each student to see if he/she is using correct form
throwing the balls.
Teaching Suggestion: "Winners" and "losers" should not be stressed in this game; Moving
around and getting an aerobic workout is the key focus of the game. Have students name
fatty foods, sugary foods and T.V. shows in order to get a ball and be a tagger.
Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:
Allow the student to choose a classmate to be their helper in picking up balls to throw.

Purpose/Objective: This game is an aerobic activity. Teaches lateral
movements used in playing basketball, football, volleyball, etc. The
game also teaches students to develop critical thinking skills and
game strategy.
Grade Levels: K-5th
Play Area: Gymnasium
Equipment Needed: None
Description of Game: Assign 3 students to be “it.” Each stands on
one of 3 parallel lines that go across the gym. One of these students is
the foreman and yells “breakout.” On his signal the rest of the class
tries to run from one end to the other without being caught. The
chasers must remain on their line as they try and catch the others.
When caught, the students join the chasers that caught them on their
line and become another chaser.

Safety Note: Student need to be good at spacial awareness and body
awareness. This game builds off of spaghetti-O Cans.
Teaching Suggestion: Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:
Use Noodles to increase tagging reach.

Purpose/Objective: To give student a chance to practice their throwing and
catching skills in a game like situation. Side to target, step with opposite foot,
make an “L” with elbow, catch with hands.
Grade Levels: K-2
Equipment Needed: 10-20 bean bags, 19-20 yarn balls, or any soft small ball.
Volleyball net optional.
Description of Game: Divide the class in half putting one team on each side of
gym. You can set up a volleyball net as a fence between the two yards. (Net can be
raised and lowered to alter the student throwing height). Spread out the bean bags
and yarn balls evenly on both sides of the gym. Students are told they need to
clean up their backyard by throwing all the objects over the fence to the other
team’s backyard. After several minutes game is stopped and students count the
number of items in their yards. Team with the least amount of objects wins. (See
teaching Suggestions)

Advance play: Each team is given a basket placed at the back of their team area.
Students are now told to catch the bean bags and yarn balls. Items that are caught
are placed in basket, and game continues until all items have been caught. Teams
then count how many items they caught and the team with the most wins.
Safety Note: Any student who falls down or goes to knees is removed from the
remainder of that round.
Assessment: During activity, observe each student to see if he/she is using correct
form. A que checklist works well for this type of assessment.
Teaching Suggestion: "Winners" and "losers" should not be stressed in this game;
actually, counting balls on each side does not even need to be done. Students will
gain enjoyment from playing the game without focusing on who "wins" or "loses."
Throwing with proper form should be the focus on the activity.
Observe to see if there are any students who are being too aggressive in obtaining
balls. All students should get the similar opportunities to throw.
Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:
Allow the student to choose a classmate to be their helper in picking up balls to
throw.

Purpose/Objective: To build abdominal and leg
strength through movement on a scooter. To promote
teamwork and cooperation skills.
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Equipment Needed: A scooter for each student, lots of
beanbags, five green pinnies or Santa hats,
CD/Ipad/Ipod player, music from "How the Grinch
Stole Christmas"

Description of Game:
Safety Note: Select five students to be the "Grinch." They will wear a green pennies or a Santa
hat. Each Grinch will go to the middle of the playing area and sit down on a scooter. The
Grinch's are the taggers and they are protecting the presents (beanbags) which they have
already stolen from the "Who's." The remaining students will be the Who's and they will go to
one end of the playing area or “Whoville.” The presents are located at the opposite end of the
playing area called “The Grinch Cave.” When the music starts, the Who's will sit down on
their scooters and attempt to scoot past the Grinch's to the opposite end to grab one present.
If tagged by a Grinch, the Who must go back to the start line and try again. If the Who makes
it across without being tagged, they may grab one present and then get a "free pass" back to
Whoville. Students cannot be tagged when they are returning to Whoville with a present.
They must show the Grinch their present as proof that they are on a free pass. Once the Who
makes it back to Whoville with a present, they must drop it off and attempt to get another
one using the same rules as above. After a few minutes, stop the music and select five new
Grinch's. At this time, all presents must be returned to the Grinch Cave before starting a new
game.
Assessment:
1. Assess the "Grinch's" ability to use teamwork to tag the "Who's.“
2. Observe which students need further instruction on scooter use.
Adding roller racers or larger (double) scooters.

Purpose/Objective: To help improve upper body strength and endurance.
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Play Area: Gymnasium or Outside (Basket court with four quadrants would be ideal. Also, set-up
before starting the activity/game.)
Equipment Needed: 50 bean bags (depending on class size), 4 hula hoops (all different colors), cones (to
mark boundaries.)
Description of Game: Set Up: Prior to the activity, set up a large area (depending on the number of
students) with boundaries marked by cones. Scatter the bean bags throughout the designated area. Place one
hula hoop on the outside of each edge of the boundaries.
Divide the students into four groups and place each group at one of the four hula hoops. Explain to the
students that the area inside the cones is the "ocean" and the bean bags are "crab food." Explain that the hula
hoop is their team hula hoop and is where they are going to place the bean bags that they collect.
The students are going to crab walk inside the boundaries and collect the bean bags. They are only allowed to
get one bean bag at a time. Once they get a bean bag, they place it on their stomach and crab walk to their
team’s hula hoop. They place the bean bag in the hula hoop and go back to get another bean bag. Each team is
trying to collect the most bean bags either before time runs out or before all the bean bags are gone.

Assessment Ideas:
At the end of the activity, ask the students what muscles they used during this
activity. Explain the muscles of the upper body that were used and how this
activity helps improve strength and endurance.
Safety Note: Don’t rush to fast or students will run into each other.
Assessment:
Tell the student which locomotor movement to use to get the bag so
they can get as good as a workout as the other students.

Purpose/Objective: The purpose of this activity is for students to
learn how to move in a confined space safely.
Grade Levels: K-1st
Prerequisites: Spaghetti-O's Can Activity (Personal Space activity.)
Equipment Needed: Four cones, large open space, music, and a music
player.

Description of Game: Place the four cones on the floor to mark a very large rectangular area
(almost as large as the activity area.) This rectangular area is "my [your] backyard." It is
important to demonstrate examples of standing IN my backyard and OUT of my backyard.
Have all the students stand IN my backyard, remembering about their "Spaghetti-O can
space.“ When the music starts they are to walk (or other locomotor movement decided
upon) staying inside my backyard. Students should pay attention not to dent their spaghetti-
O cans (see previous activity). Students freeze when the music stops. Then move two of the
cones closer to the other end, changing the rectangle into a square. Tell them that you have
decided to build a deck and that has made the yard smaller. Start the music and have
students perform locomotor movement staying IN my backyard. Continue this and keep
making the yard smaller and smaller (i.e. You forgot to water the lawn so the grass died, you
put in a pool…). As the yard gets smaller and smaller discuss whether one should move
faster or slower and why. It's even fun to have students walk backwards!
Safety Note: This game builds off of Spaghetti-O Cans.
Assessment: It should be obvious by the speed with which the students are moving. It may
be necessary to stop the music and talk about safety if students are not slowing down.
Help students understand the "pretend" lines which connect the cones and form the
boundary of the general space. Stationing extra cones between the corner cones can help;
have students use their finger to "connect the cones."

Purpose/Objective: Practice flag football defense
Grade Levels: 3rd-5th
Play Area: Outside / Gymnasium
Equipment Needed: 1 paperclip, 2 sets of football flags

Description of Game: Divide class into 2 teams. Each team wears a different color
football flag. Teams start on the opposite end lines.
Offensive team huddles. One person is given the paperclip. Before breaking, all
players on that team make fists with their hands, so no one knows who has the
paperclip.
On “go” both teams start running. The offensive team is trying to make it to the
opposite end line. The defensive team is trying to pull one flag from each
offensive player. When an offensive player’s flag is pulled, they must stop and
open their hands. If the defensive team pulls the flag of the offensive player that is
holding the paperclip, no touch down is scored. If the offensive player with the
paperclip makes it to the end line with both flags, they score a touchdown.

Purpose/Objective: This is a great game when you have
lots of kids and not a lot of space…like picture day or
book fair day. I play it on half of the gym.
Grade Levels: 2nd-5th
Play Area: Gymnasium or Outside (ALLEN)
Equipment Needed: 1 football & 8 playground balls

Description of Game: Divide the class into 4 teams. Each team stands on a
sideline, end line or mid line, making a rectangle.
Put the football in the middle of the rectangle.
Each team starts with 2 playground balls.
On the signal “go” students start rolling or spiking the playground balls at the
football. The object is to hit the football over any of the other 3 teams lines. If the
ball crosses your team’s line, your team gets a point. Points are bad, so the team
with the most points loses. The only way to prevent a ball from crossing team’s
line is to use a playground ball to knock it out. If a player touches the ball with a
hand or foot, it is an automatic point.
After each point is scored, I rotate the teams ¼ of the way around the rectangle. I
do this because the teams on the sidelines are farther away form the football when
it starts.

Purpose/Objective: This is a silly and fun
game that kids love.
Grade Levels: 2nd - 5th
Play Area: Most likely in Gymnasium
(ALLEN)
Equipment Needed: Volleyball net and 1 ring

Description of Game: Divide the class into 2 teams, one on each side of the
net.
Pick 1 student from each team to do rock, paper, scissors to determine which
team starts.
The ring must be tossed underhand, over the net.
If no one on the other team catches it, whoever is closest to where it lands is
eliminated. If it lands between 2 players, the 2 players closest do rock, paper,
scissors to determine who is eliminated.
If the tosser tosses it out of bounds, or into the net, they are eliminated.
Continue until there is a winner.
Eliminated players can do pull-ups or jump rope.

Purpose/Objective: Good skill practice game.
Grade Levels: 3rd -5th
Equipment Needed: Volleyball net &
Volleyball

Description of Game: Divide class into 2 teams.
Pick 2 students to do rock, paper, scissors to determine which team
starts.
The front row players set the ball, the middle row players bump the
ball, the back row players serve the ball.
If the ball hits the net or goes out of bounds, that player is eliminated.
If the ball goes over the net, someone on the opposite team must catch
it. If the ball touches the ground, whoever is closest is eliminated. If
it is caught, that person puts it back in play using whichever skill they
are assigned.
If eliminated, players can do pull-ups or jump rope.
When starting a new game, rotate players so they practice a different
skill.

Purpose/Objective: Warm-up activity
Grade Levels: K-5th
Equipment Needed: 1 Dice, Music, 4 cones with numbers 1-4 set in the 4 corners of the gym.
Description of Game: Students are on the jogging line. Assign a locomotor movement. Start music.
Students perform the locomotor movement until the music stops. Then they pick one of the 4
corners and move to that cone.
The teacher picks an exercise, and a number (usually 10) and spins the dice.
If 1-4 is rolled, the students at that number perform the exercise.
If 5 is rolled, everyone performs the exercise. If 6 is rolled, no one performs the exercise.
Safety Note: ALLEN

Purpose/Objective: ALLEN
Play Area: ALLEN
Equipment Needed: 8 - 10 yarn balls or gator
balls

Description of Game: Divide the class into 2 teams.
Pinney’s are not necessary because teams cannot cross the center line.
Place balls on the center line.
On the signal “go” players may run to the center line and grab a ball. Then they can
start throwing the balls at the opposing team.
If a player is hit by a thrown ball, they are eliminated and line up on the sideline in the
order eliminated.
If a player on the opposite team catches a thrown ball, the person who threw it is
eliminated and lines up on the sideline in the order eliminated.
If a person catches a thrown ball, they save one person on their team.
If a person can throw a ball and hit either sides backboard, they save 2 people.
If a person can throw a ball and hit the back backboard, they save the whole team.
If a person can throw a ball and make a basket using the back of the backboard, they
win!!
Safety Note: ALLEN
Assessment: ALLEN

Purpose/Objective: GREAT WARM-UP AEROBIC ACTIVITY
Allen more to above
Equipment Needed: 10 yarn balls and/or gator balls, cones
Description of Game: Make a jail with the cones.
Throw the balls out and any one can throw the ball at anyone else. If hit, you go to the
jail. Remember who hit you. When that person gets hit, everyone they hit becomes
free.

Equipment Needed: 8-10 hoops

Description of Game: Scatter the hoops on the gym floor.
Everyone starts on the end line.
Pick a witch and a warlock. They say the poem: Dear children, dear children,
you dare not go far, for if we catch you, you will land in a jar.
When they say jar, every one runs.
If tagged, they go to a jar (hoop.)
If there are 2 people in a jar, they must sit down back to back and they are
pickled and cannot be saved.
If there is only 1 person in a jar, they can be saved. Any one running can grab
the hand of a person in a jar and run them to the end line and save them.
If either one is tagged or if they let go of hands, BOTH are caught and must
go to jail.
Safety Note: ALLEN
Assessment: ALLEN

Grade Levels: K-3rd
Equipment Needed: yarn balls and/or gator balls
Description of Game: Pick 2 - 3 spiders to throw the balls. If hit from the shoulders
down, they are stung and must sit cross legged. Time different groups to see which
team was the fastest.

Safety Note: ALLEN
Assessment: ALLEN

Equipment Needed: yarn balls and/or gator balls & pennies
Description of Game: Throw the balls out randomly.
Anyone can throw a ball at anyone else - no teams
If hit, sit and cross legs, raise a hand so teammates know you are hit.
Team mates can save you if they give you a ball they have caught or picked up after it
hit the ground. If this happens, stand up and get back in the game.

Safety Note: ALLEN
Assessment: ALLEN

Purpose/Objective: Allen
Equipment Needed: Set of flags for each students and cones
Description of Game: Divide the class into 2 teams. Give each player a set of flags. Make a
corral on each side of the gym with cones. Teams start in their own corral.
On the signal “go” everyone starts running and tries to pull one flag off the opposing team
players. If they pull a flag, they must run back to their corral and drop the flag. They can
then try to pull another flag. Once a player has lost both flags, they go to the other team’s
corral and sit. Eventually there is a winner. Start a new game.
They like to cheat and cover their flags…unacceptable!

Purpose/Objective: To encourage cooperation and use of offensive and defensive
strategies. Teamwork is the Key! The same team usually never wins twice in a row.
Grade Levels: 3rd - 5th (3-12)
Play Area: Gymnasium (Easier to be enclosed to play the game then outside)
Equipment Needed:
Hula Hoops for each team a different color [Depends on how many teams you
have.] Always have 1-2 more items than the number of teams. (Example if you
have 5 teams have 7 different items) # medium sized gator-skin balls, # tennis balls,
# carpet squares, # jump ropes, # pennies, # bean bags, # cones, and other physical
education items. (Other equipment can be used, as long as you have the same
number of the same kind.) Do a different piece of equipment, instead of the one they
originally started with.
Description of Game: Top Secret!! If you show up you can write it down!!!

Safety Note: Before you start the game you need to remind students
that they better have their head on a swivel and before they take off
from their base they need to be more aware of their surroundings or
they will run into each other. Also, you can make the rule that no one
can run in between teams only in the front of the teams.
Assessment: Observe to see that students are using both offensive and
defensive strategies in order to gain all of their types of equipment (vs. just
offensive strategies.) Observe the communication which is going on between
teams; use this as a means to discuss cooperation and how a team needs to
work together in a positive way. If you need to help them with a strategy the
first game should go really fast after that games will take a lot longer. (Longest
game was 35 minutes with no winner & the shortest game was won because
a team just grabbed all of one item and won right away!)
You can make it a walking game, or use any other locomotor movement.

Purpose/Objective: Teamwork (enough said!) I use it to teach during
the Football Unit and Field Day, but the technical one you want is
commonly abbreviated as CTF. It is a traditional outdoor game where
two teams each have a flag (or other marker) and the object is to
capture the other team's flag located at the team's "base," and bring it
safely back to their own base. Enemy players can be "tagged" by
players in their home territory; these players are then, depending on
the agreed rules, out of the game. Members of the opposite team are
sent back to their own territory, frozen in place until freed by a
member of their own team, or "in jail."
Grade Levels: 3rd -5th (3-12)
Play Area: Outside (Big open grass field) if you can play on a Hill do
it!

Very easy!! If their flags fall off they go to prison!!! Capture the ball and score
on the other side!! All Players wear Flags on Hips and cannot slap away
players hands. Nothing can be over the flags like a shirt or jacket. The flag
belt must be on the outside of all clothing if cold outside. If you are on your
side then you can pull the other teams flag. If you are on the other teams side
then they can pull your flag. A pulled flag will send you to Prison. You may
rescue players but only one at a time & must hold their wrist until they get
back the their Scoring Line. If you let go before that then you both go to
prison NO ONE can pull your flag if your walking back while holding the
wrist of a prisoner. Players may not run into their Prison or ball circles only
the opposite teams. Players may wait in prison & ball circle as long as they
want and as long as it’s not on your side. Scoring occurs when you grab your
ball and run all the way back passed the scoring line. Remember you MUST
go through the Scoring Line not around it. If your flag gets pulled or you
drop the ball you go to prison. You cannot pass the ball either. Once you
leave the Ball circle with the ball then you cannot go back in.

Equipment Needed: Either 4 painted circles on the field – two on each end
and a line in the middle with a lot of cones or paint and two milk crates for
the line endings. If you can’t paint the circles use old jump ropes tied around
for the bases and prisons. Two different colored kick balls that don’t have all
their air so the students can grab them. All students should have two flags, a
belt and flag holders. Reminder: you must have two different colors of flags
to identify the different teams.
Safety Note: Students have to understand and show how to pull flags.
Absolutely no tackling! And make sure they know their head is always on a
swivel. Remind students the more they listen and know their surroundings
the more likely they are not to get hurt.
Assessment: Does teamwork occur? Are other students auguring? More
assessment are in my PE Bible
If you have students with any major disabilities you can do a call out tag. I can
explain it.

Purpose/Objective: To teach students a super fast way to play baseball in a
very unique way.
Equipment Needed: Old school bubble bat, more than one whiffle ball, bases
and a bucket.
Description of Game: This game is just baseball on RED Bull! All baseball
rules apply except for the following: The teacher pitches! The batter must
swing with two hands on the bat and can’t throw the bat. If they do then it’s
an automatic out. After the ball is hit the bat must go into the bucket. Can't
throw the ball at someone to get them out. Number off your kids and tell
them to remember their numbers for batting order. Play with a 1st basemen.
Paper, Rock, Scissors to see who bats first. Everyone bats and then the teams
rotate. Batting out of order is a 5 run for the other team. Everyone must bat
before the person bats again. No Bunting! There are no Foul Balls. Plus
everyone gets 4 strikes. Homeruns are marked in my gymnasium, I will
explain.

Safety Note: Don’t let the players get too close to home plate so the ball
doesn’t hurt them. Also, stay out of the base runner lines.
Assessment: Are the students running into each other? Are the students
following directions and listening? More assessments are in my PE Bible.

Purpose/Objective: Students demonstrate the ability to move at fast
and slow speeds and for students to understand the speed associated
with each of the three colors on a traffic light (red=stop/freeze,
green=run fast, and yellow= walk slow)
Prerequisites: Ability to move safely through general space
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Equipment Needed: dodgeball sized gator skin balls of the following
colors: 2 red, 2 green, 2 yellow and pennies of the same colors also.
Music/player if preferred, cones to mark boundaries if necessary,
stop/start signal if music is not used.

Ask students if they've seen a traffic light...what colors are on the light? What does each color mean
for cars? Let students know that they will have to "be like" cars today and remember that red = stop,
green = go/fast speed, and yellow = slow speed (show them the words associated with each color.)
To reinforce the concept of slow and fast speeds as well as "stop,” hold up a ball and have students
move the body part you call out with the speed represented by the color ball. Then, have students
move through general space using the speed you call out. When you feel they have the concept
down and can safely move through general space go on to the next activity.
Explain that five students (picked randomly) will have one each of the colored balls. When the start
signal is sounded, those students will keep holding onto the ball and touch someone with the ball.
When tagged, that student must then move at the speed associated with the color ball that tagged
them. (You may want to have two students demonstrate this.) For example, if tagged with a yellow
ball, the student will have to move in a slow speed. If they are tagged with a red ball, they must
"stop" and sit down. If tagged with a green ball when sitting, they can get up and go fast speed once
again! After playing about thirty seconds to a minute, switch the balls around to other students so
everyone gets a chance to hold a ball and be a tagger.
Safety Note: Red = Stop! Yellow = Slow speed! Green = Fast Speed!
Assessment: Are the students running into each other? Are the students staying in bounds? More
assessments are in my PE Bible.
Teaching Suggestion: Adaptations for Students with Disabilities: In PE Bible or just ask.
Purpose of Activity: Activity cues:

Purpose/Objective: The purpose of this activity is to teach about personal space and the
safety reasons for it.
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Equipment Needed: a lot of used tarps, two big barrels
Start by asking the students if they ever had soup in a can or Spaghetti-O’s. Then tell them to
pretend that they have a giant Spaghetti-O's can in front of them. Pretend to use a can opener
to take the top off. Of course, one can't climb into one's can if it is full of Spaghetti-O's, so we
must gobble up our Spaghetti-O's! Then we carefully climb into our giant Spaghetti-O cans
and stick our arms straight out to feel the sides of the can (as far as we can reach). Discuss
how important it is to not bump your can into anyone else's can; relate dented cans
to injuries.
There are other things I do with this just ask me.
Safety Note: None cause it is the start of my physical education class every year.
Assessment: Lack of crashes is a sure sign that they have caught on!
Throughout the year, if students forget about their self space, just mention their Spaghetti-O
cans and the students will know what you're talking about.

Purpose/Objective: To develop the concept of different levels in
space.
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Equipment Needed: Cones for K classes

Break up into 5 groups of four or more students like agility lines for running in the gym:
1. The first student makes themselves into a turtle (low.) 2. (three yards away or cone marks
the spot from the turtle) The next person steps or carefully leaps over the turtle (high) and
makes them self into a dog with a space underneath that a child can crawl under (medium.)
3. (three yards away or cone marks the spot from the dog) The next person steps/leaps over
the turtle, crawls under the dog (low) and makes them self into an elephant (high.) 4. (three
yards away or cone marks the spot from the elephant) The next person steps/leaps over the
turtle, crawls under the dog, runs around the elephant (medium), and makes a turtle. 5. Then
the first person gets up from the turtle position, goes through all the obstacles and makes the
next thing in the sequence (dog), etc.
Safety Note:
Assessment: 1. Ask the class the level of each of the obstacles. Then ask what level they were
at when they were going through each obstacle. 2. Watch to see if there are any levels the
students are having trouble with that can be addressed in another lesson.
Students with wheelchairs can weave in and out of the obstacles.
Variations:
The order of the animals (drawings) can be posted for students to view during this activity.
Children can also choose their own animals as long as they fit the criteria.

Purpose/Objective: To help students learn about body and space awareness. (Safety Zone &
Danger Zone)
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Play Area: Gymnasium (Safety Zone & Danger Zone)
Equipment Needed: Bubbles and sticks, cones (large traffic cones are preferred) for general
space, and some mellow music.
Description of Game: First thing, cone off the volleyball lines to explain safety zone and danger
zone. Students begin by standing in their own space with arms stretched out. When the music
starts they travel on their feet into open spaces trying NOT to bump into each other or the walls.
(You may want to have them walk to start off and use cones around the area instead of using the
walls of the gym).
If they bump or touch the wall they "pop!" "Pop" means to fall to the floor and curl into a ball
and count to five. After the student counts to five the "popped" bubble may travel at a low level
and try to pop a standing bubble. Teachers make sure they are tagging gently and not trying to
trip others. (Modifications: you can make them crabs.)
The "popped" bubble tries to tag a standing bubble. If the "popped" bubble tags a standing
bubble the standing bubble "pops" and the "popped" bubble gets to stand up and travel on their
feet again. (Modifications: When bubbles pop they just sit down)
You may want to change the area of space that you use. For example, make the gym space
smaller by moving the cones. If the bubble travels outside of the area the bubble pops.
Game is played for the length of a song (approx. 4-5 min.)

Safety Note: I teach this after Locomotor Roll & Spaghetti-O Cans. The biggest
thing is that students need to understand spacial awareness and body awareness.
Teaching the Safety Zones and Danger Zones are Huge in all (K-2) classes.
Assessment: Are the students running into each other? Are the students staying
in bounds? More assessments are in my PE Bible.
Teaching Suggestion: Adaptations for Students with Disabilities: Once the
disability is known then you modify the game or activity by adding obstacles or
other objects to make the game an even playing field.

Purpose/Objective: To review/practice/assess locomotor skills.
Grade Levels: K-2nd
Equipment Needed: Cones, dice, and a big sheet with all the Locomotor skills on it
with a number next to it. You could just use a dry erase board too.
For large group activity (see assessment section for small group activity): Start with
students in running lines sitting on the sections of the gym. Have poly spots/cones on
the spots across like your running (I can draw if you need to see it.) Demonstrate each
locomotor skill then show the students your sheet and why there is a number next to
the dice. A student will roll the dice or dices and you can add or subtract so you get the
skill you want to see to assess.
Instruct the students that they must travel to and touch the number of poly spots/cones
and then sit behind the cone using the locomotor skill for that number.
The teacher or a student can roll the dice. For example: walk 3 or skip 6. Stop at the
other cone when they finish the locomotor skill. When everyone is back, roll the dice
again. I like to pick someone who does a nice job performing the locomotor skill, not
just the student who finishes first.

Variations:
This game can be made more challenging by adding the number or subtract
on the dice with another number. For example: dice reads walk 3 - add 4, so
walk 7.
Safety Note: All students will not be moving around all at once, sorry this is
more of an assessment then total moving around the gym. Building Self-
Confidence
Assessment: I use my iPad to grade the students while they go to one cone to
another just like my running lines. This activity could be played with several
small groups if you want more moving and have each assigned to a specific
home marker. For example: red cone. When all the students are back at the
red cone, a student rolls the dice and they continue with this activity. Also,
this activity would work well as a station activity.
Students with disabilities will be assessed on what they can do not what they
can’t do.

Purpose/Objective: Introducing sports to Elementary students that they might never think of trying.
Also, this is a great way to let the students experience what it is like being on a team.
Play Area: Sport Specific (Basketball, Hockey, Volleyball, and Soccer) GBL,GHL,GSL, & GVL
Equipment Needed: Sports Specific (Basketball, Hockey, Volleyball, and Soccer equipment)
Description of Game: Will explain!!!
Safety Note: Go over the rules and then explain all the safety notes on that day.
Assessment: Sport Assessments
Students with disabilities get Modifications to make it a even playing ground.
