P.E. Games

To finish the week of classes I set up an obstacle course for the students. It started out with very low hurdles for the students to jump over. The next section was a balancing beam that led to a large matt where they had to do an alligator craw. After the crawl that had to run through a tunnel and finished the course by jumping or diving over a matt wall. The landing area was also a large matt so they would have a safe and soft landing! The kids absolutely loved this. It is also very easy to adapt for students with disabilities.

Pin Soccer

A great game that we played today was pin soccer. Every rule that you use for standard soccer applies in this game. The difference is that there are no goals. I order to score you must knock down the opposing team's pin. Another thing that I also like to do is throw in extra balls so that everyone gets a chance to be part of the game. I start out with one , then gradually thrown in up to four balls depending on the class age and size.
