We often project different sports/events/etc. that students may not see often or are curious about. I think we recruited some new fans today! #physed @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social

Block Wars is a fast-paced fine & gross motor fitness game with a fun competitive twist! *Math cubes have been a great equipment addition. #physed

Recognizing patterns and breaking a sweat! Used @PhysEdDepot Flip It Fitness with my K-2s today. #physed

K-2 “Save The Turkeys Tag” Dodging, fleeing, fitness, counting & problem-solving in one! #physed

Took a twist on an original idea from @Cch_Williams. Both in-person and online Ss loved it so I added on a nutritional knowledge twist. #hpeathome #physed #pe

When my ♥️ for my 🐐 & love for health and wellness collide. My awesome student T @MissBertmanPE and I created this fun brain boost for classroom teachers. Freeze dance element inspired by @PEbyMrG #physed #goatyoga

Gone fishing! Ss gearing up for outdoor adventures this summer! Working on casting skills, line management, & reeling in the BIG ones! #physed #backyardbass

❤️Rollerblading. Ss literally lifting one another up & allowing for bravery. Ss blow me away w/ convos about what a safe learning space looks, feels & sounds like in our PE class & if we have been successful in cultivating it. This is the WHY. #physed #pe

We can make our own?! Like, I can hang it in the tree? Yes!!! Movement is the goal, curiosity and creativity is often the best path. #physed #discgolf #letthemplay #pe

We called this “Jedi Training” Modified hoop connectors w/ noodles to make lightsabers. Drop a pool dive ring on each lightsaber along the way to become a Jedi Master! @EverlastClimb #physed #pe

Ss flex their creativity & start creating games! We put a blank lesson plan template out and it’s been magic! Expressing ideas through writing, celebrating others, community of movers, honoring student voice! Here’s an amazing 3rd grade example. #physed

Used @RArmstrongPE wall ball targets and my Ss love of sorting in this “Guardians Of The Galaxy” throwing and alien capturing challenge. #physed

Leading up to Spring Break w/ more Ss created games! Ss fill out a lesson plan & we all celebrate their creativity. Great way to connect grade levels and extend PE outside the gym walls. #physed

5th grade loved The Seeker during our end of year “new games” week. They voted it into our Cooperation/Teambuild unit for this year. Great opportunities for pre/post questioning on communication. #physed #hyPEd #Hpe

It’s been a minute since we did our @spotitgame warm-up. Worth sharing again b/c it’s that much FUN! Lots of ways to play, our Ss decided on win = favorite exercise, lose = 1 jogging lap. Lose 2x=favorite exercise and new card! #physed #pe

My Ss love adding creative build elements within our skill activities so @Big_Creek_PE "Tower of Power" was a must on my list. Added tons of striking & volley possibilities. Repetition, synergy, and so much fun! #physed #pe

Every elementary PE clean-up is a chance for a “Kobe.” @CaitlinClark22 gave us a new name and what a joy it’s been for this IA #physed teacher to experience. @IowaWBB @IowaHoopsNews #pe

Fun K-2 fitness game with lots of possibilities for changing up exercise types and locomotor movements. Modified from activity provided at @iahperd.bsky.social #physed #pe

Trying to manifest some snow with The Great Snowball Roll Relays. Ss talked about how snowballs get larger as you roll them. Each round a new snow(ball). ❄️ #physed #pe

Partner Balance Challenge was a hit! Original idea came from a convention years ago- please tag if you know. I modified to include fun yoga pose levels. Ss worked on balance, speed, and cooperation. A lot of laughter in this one too! #phsyed #pe

Our Ss will take different paths on their movement journeys. How lucky are we to show them that these paths can look different, merge, collide, extend, and more! Stoke is high to spark more wonder & joy in #PhysEd #landpaddle

I ❤️ learning through my Ss! Asked some knowledgeable 4th graders to assist me in getting all the character names and story just right! Levels up using different stack patterns. Listen to that team strategy! #physed

❄️ 🎣 Ice Fishing on Lake MGE today! Big discussions on if a worm, pickle, or popsicle would be the best bait! Ss used fine motor skills to catch fish, ran a victory lap around the lake, and earned a piece of equipment to build their own ice castles! #PhysEd

Took some time in between rounds of Frisbee Shootout to discuss the differences between grasshoppers and crickets. Outdoor PE is always an adventure! #physed

Amazing scooter days. Expanding our ideas of what it means to find joy in & through movement while practicing resilience in learning. #physed

Not quite the same as spending the morning on the water, but modifying our casting skills by adding training golf balls and a popular yard game is a great way to start the day! #physed #getkidsfishing #pe

Celebrating what we love in ourselves and what we see in others. Amazing time learning about our 3/5th grade Ss in PE. #PhysEd #beyou

I can't express how happy I am to be able to open "MGE Lanes" to Ss once again! The Golden Pin made a comeback and we even had a GlowUP. Check out that Ss created Fun Meter going off the charts! #physed #joyinmovement

I've been watching too much @legomaster Here is a Lego Master fitness board game to encourage healthy movement and creativity! #physed #HPEathome bit.ly/2y5Iyon

Using w/ K-2 when we learn new skills allows Ss to visualize common emotions in themselves & others. I start the lesson by acknowledging that many of us will feel different when learning. Debrief w/ growth mindset prompt to make connection. #SEL #PhysEd bit.ly/2NvR1WQ

Ss chose the goal, strategies, & celebration! Tracked progress & had laser focus engagement. By far the best assessment tool I’ve used for lower elem. They coached & supported each other to success! #wedidit #LIM #WIGs #physed

Shout out @MrWillPE for printable Hula Hut Architects. Been projecting them for years. This year I took time to make “blueprint” packets for groups. Saw way more team dynamics & ownership! #physed

This is a great time of year to practice #cooperation & #problemsolving in #physed I love this idea for intentional Ss reflection during our cooperative activities. Let Ss discover the why! #SEL @PEforlife Link if interested bit.ly/2jZtfqQ

Quick way to get to know Ss and allow for voice/choice in our PE classroom. #physed #sel #exitslip #5thgrade

Meaningful integration of #SEL is possible in every area of #physed @PEforlife and I have been talking about this all summer. Inspired by @ScottAmpersand , here are some cheat sheets we created to show areas of integration & progression.

Adapted @OPENPhysEd "Around The World RPS" into a March Madness theme. Great for all class sizes! Lots of movement, relevant, and engaging! #physed @PEforlife
