Grade level: K-8 Equipment: Pins, Throwing Objects (crazier the better) Game Description: Put down your pins, and get throwing! Super fun, different ways to play for all grades.
Grade level: K-4 Equipment: Hula hoops Game Description: This is a great 3-part progression that has basically 3 games in 1. It’s one of my favourites especially with Kindergartens. Gets players moving around and communicating/strategizing in different ways.
Grade level: K-3 Equipment: Cones, Soccerballs (for soccer variations) Game Description: 5 different ways to play this updated version of Knockemdowners. It really is a classic game, students really move, and practice a variety of skills in fun variations which can be used in any primary PE class or football (soccer) program!
Grade level: 1-6 Equipment: Cones, hula hoops, beanbags Game Description: This one is a new favourite. A little bit of a Capture the Flag feel to it – groups of pirates work together to try and steal the treasure off of the defender ship. NON-STOP ACTION, players really move in this great game idea thanks to Deric Hafer.
Grade level: K-8 Equipment: None Game Description: Great for all ages, super fun. Works on reaction timing. Use this one as an instant activity or a warm-up but it can be a stand alone game as well. You also don’t need any equipment either.
Grade level: K-8 Equipment: 2 skipping ropes Game Description: Super simple, super fun jumping activity, especially for long jump practice :p (Thanks Deric Hafer)
Grade level: K-5 Equipment: Beanbags, cones Game Description: This game combines a couple other game ideas into 1 unique and fun game: you’ve got the mice who need to grab the cheese along the way. And you’ve got the cats who try to stop the mice and catch them. (Thanks to Deric Hafer for this game)
