Would You Rather SPORTS Edition Brain Break


Grade level: 1-6
Equipment: Projector
Game Description: Another Physedgames family version of the Would You Rather brain break workouts. This is our take on the projector workouts that can be used as a warm-up or pair it up with another one or another fitness activity or game. Could be played in the gym, or in the classroom when the gym is not available, as long as you have a projector. This is the SPORTS edition!

Would You Rather FOOD Edition Brain Break


Grade level: 1-6
Equipment: Projector
Game Description: A different type of game from what I usually post, that’s super fun and active (what I always aim for). This one is a Physedgames family version of the Would You Rather brain break workouts. This is our take on the projector workouts that can be used as a warm-up or pair it up with another one or another fitness activity or game. Could be played in the gym, or in the classroom when the gym is not available, as long as you have a projector. This one includes the popular food theme, with an appropriate difficulty level that’s not too easy and not too hard and gets the heart pumping. My kids and I are having lots of fun putting together the exercises and different themes that’ll be added later too. My wife is… not as impressed HAH. Trying my best to talk her into joining in.

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.

Six Base Kickball


Grade level: 2-8
Equipment: mats (or bases), ball, container (bin, box)
Game Description: Here’s a version of Kickball from David Bohlander, and I’m pretty sure it’s similar to a common version of Kickball that’s played in Germany. David said one of his foreign exchange students helped him modify his 6 base game to the German rules, and his students absolutely love it! There’s a unique rule to get runners out, a bit different from other versions of kickball. Almost everyone likes a good game of Kickball so try this one out if you’re looking for something new!

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).
