Students, during the last week of the year, are placed into 12 teams to represent countries of the world. All of students participate in a school-wide Olympics that involves 4 rounds of fun activities.

Students must work cooperatively in teams to move a large mat around the gymnasium. This lesson focuses on working well together as a group to complete a task.

Students engage in an entire morning of physical fitness activities called Field Day. Events such as dashes, water relays, hoop pass and obstacle course are some of the ideas.

Students are in a group - half of them be an obstacle and half be moving around them, and then they switch. This engaging game promotes lots of movement.

Learners review dodging, chasing and fleeing skills while reinforcing concepts about dinosaurs. They need to review the following concepts about how dinosaurs eat and move: Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat, and omnivores eat both.

Starting with letter "A", call out each letter of the alphabet, and a corresponding word or phrase that begins with that letter. The teacher can expound on the word/phrase to create an image and to promote movement.

Students participate in a combination of lecture and physical exercise in order to find their pulse (both resting and after activity) and record how their heart rate changes as their activity level changes.

Students listen as the teacher reads "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" and then participate in a game that mirrors the actions of the book. They engage many of their locomotive skills.

Students engaged in practice for a physical fitness exam. The practice is beneficial for overall student fitness. The instructor measures key factors of health that include height and weight.

Students demonstrate the ability to perform locomotor and non-locomotor skills upon teacher request. They perform an obstacle course involving locomotor skills (walk, run, hop) and non-locomotor skills (bend) with full completion.

Students practice the skills of using a hula hoop in order to expand other skills like following directions. They are given and experience a variety of locomotor and manipulative movements. They work as an individual and a team member.

Students demonstrate basic knowledge about how to use a basketball properly. The teaching of the instructional activity is done through modeling and students assessment is done with drilling and practice with the basketball activities.

Students access that the purpose of this activity is to integrate physical fitness with spelling of core vocabulary words used in science and social studies. Students play the Scrabble Lap Game.

Students can practice this activity as a warm-up during the month of December. It's a great way to teach students about different types of exercises and how they relate to the different components of fitness.

Students practice accurately kicking a ball. In this gross motor skills lesson, students practice kicking a ball through the legs of a classmate, who is the "goal".

Students practice hopping. In this physical education lesson, students discuss safety rules and respect for others while exercising. They practice how to hop and play Hop Freeze Tag. 

Students cool down from physical activity and practice an activity to reinforce the locations of our bones. At the end of PE class students stand or sit in small group and sing and touch bones to the song "Macarena". The teacher can...

Students explore a visual look at the cues for each skill theme taught. They review all the cues that they discuss and practice in PE class. They examine the theme and cues and reminders of cues while working on the theme.

In this physical education success worksheet, young scholars create a bulletin board outlining strategies that they can use to be successful throughout the year in a physical education class. In small groups, they discuss ways to be...

Students review classroom rules. They are awarded class points each time all students are dressed appropriately for class. Each time the class scores five home runs they receive a choice of class rewards (such as treat box, choice of...

Students observe a soccer theme poster displayed on the classroom walls. As they follow directions, participate, and listen, students earn soccer balls to attach to the poster. Upon receiving 10 soccer balls, the class receives a reward.

Students participate in lead up activities. For this physical education lesson plan, students practice lead up games. A rubric is included.

Students combine movement with science in this fun integrated lesson. When students are "liquid" they can "melt" or "ooze" at the end and when they are are "solids" they can "freeze" in a shape.
