21

· ALL, Basketball, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8, Outdoor

Grade level: 5-8
Equipment: Basketball
Game Description: 21 is perhaps the most popular shooting game for basketball. The idea is simple: be the first to reach 21 points. Normally played in pairs or threes, players take turns shooting for 1 or 2 points – unless you’re really good, you could make it to 21 without your opponent even having a chance to shoot! Great game for practicing free throws (foul shots).

Game Description: 4 Goal Soccer is another popular soccer PE game, especially with larger groups. 4 nets are set-up on each side. 4 teams go at it with whatever soccer rules the teacher wants to implement. Teams can score in any net except their own – that’s obvious. Definitely worth taking a look at; lots of movement, exercise, and skill development potential in this game.

· ALL, Dodgeball, Fun, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8, Warm-up

Grade level: 3-8
Equipment: 2 dodgeballs

Once players have been hit, they must sit on the ground where they can tag others as they run by. Read More →
