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 :).
Looking for an amazing activity for St. Patrick’s Day week? This is it!!!
LUCKY CHARMS !!!!
This tagging game is a classic from @PESchoolYT!!! Take a look and a listen for directions!!! Perfect for today :). #PhysEd
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
!!! 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!
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).
Halloween Tagging Game. Definitely using this week. Check it out below!
MONSTER HOUSE!!!
The perfect activity for today. My students absolutely love this tagging game. Take a look/listen to the video for how I organize it. A big thanks to @PESchoolYT for sharing the original! #PhysEd
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
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

Playing “Newcomb” today with my 3rd-5th students!!! Always a classic and fan favorite. I’ll play “Over Under” from @CoachPirillo in the afternoon with K-2 so I can leave the nets up. Check it out here youtu.be/gN5E9LUuOVU?si=OOnJ…
NUKE ‘EM!! Actually it’s “Newcomb” but my 3rd-5th ss love this activity as part of the throwing & catching unit. 4 courts of 2 v 2 going on at the same time, with a team of 2 waiting to get on at each. Point winner stays on as the champ, challenging team serves. #PhysEd
PARTNER/GROUP BALANCE DAY!!!!
The excitement, laughs, communication and teamwork is always through the roof!!! After going through 8 different partner and group balances together, teams get to create and present their own, and try them all. Easily their favorite day of the unit!
Incredible sessions today by these @SHAPEAmerica TOYS!!! So much high-quality striking content!!!!! #SHAPEbaltimore #PhysEd
