Eagles vs Seahawks


Grade level: K-4
Equipment: Lots of beanbags (or other small objects), hula hoops
Game Description: A fun new game idea for Kindergarten to grade 4 students. It’s a race to see which team collects the most fish, but with some special rules (thanks to Lee Ruark).

Mooshake


Grade level: K-3
Equipment: stuffed animal (cow), or ball
Game Description: Here’s a unique throwing and catching team-building circle game idea. If you have a cow stuffy, that’d be the best, but you could also use some type of ball. A silly game with lots of laughs (thanks Gillian Boal-Thowson)!

Backyard Dog Tag


Grade level: K-4
Equipment: Cones, 4 foam balls
Game Description: Some students are dogs (they can act like a dog if they want). The dogs are trying to chase people away from their yard. Another fun tag game idea to try in your PE class (thanks to Deric Hafer).

RPS Warm-up


Grade level: 1-8
Equipment: 4 cones
Game Description: Such a simple warm-up idea that students really enjoy. Once players know how to play it, it’s an instant activity to use to get your PE class started. Also doesn’t require any equipment really, except for 4 cones. It could be played anywhere, and is another great large group game! Guaranteed fun and movement.

Massive 10 Second Tag


Grade level: 1-6
Equipment: none
Game Description: Tried a quick modification of Joel Sweetland’s ’10-second tag’ for a large group that I had. Wasn’t sure if it’d work but it went really good! Note: the cycles don’t have to be exactly 10 seconds (to keep the flow of the game going, you might add or subtract a few seconds here or there).
