Grade level: 2-8 Equipment: Cones, hula hoops Game Description: Saw online that someone changed up Joe Defreitas’ original Home Alone game and added a teamwork strategy version. So I optimized the idea with my own students it, and here it is. It might be best played after playing a round of Home Alone the original, but definitely doesn’t have to be! Also a great Christmas holiday PE game!

This one has an adventure theme all over the world with people, places, and things of all sorts. Included fitness activities such as jogging, jumping, swinging, climbing and more. A Physedgames version to play in PE class!
