Grade level: K-3 Equipment: None Game Description: A simple game. A ‘try not to crash’ game. And actually another really fun game. It’s a fantastic LARGE GROUP game too! (Thanks to Jiang Xiaolei)
Grade level: K-8 Equipment: Cones Game Description: Who likes to sprint?! OK, probably not many people. But in this game, the participants might actually enjoy it (at least a little bit). That’s the hope. It’s a very easy idea: on every blow of the whistle, players will sprint and even try to catch the person in front of them. Then the groups rotate. Repeat, repeat, etc, etc.
Grade level: K-5 Equipment: none Game Description: Here’s a Physedgames original game to enjoy during the Christmas season, it’s a fun and easy holiday PE game that will get players laughing, moving, and sweating! It’s easy too. All you will need is a playing area. Most of the players will be your favourite types of Christmas Cookies. You’ll also have one or two bakers (the catchers) and an oven, and a table (use your imaginiation). I hope you enjoy this game. Merry Christmas!
Grade level: 2-6 Equipment: sticky notes, or pieces of paper Game Description: This game is a mystery! Players don’t know who the catchers are. But they’ll soon find out. Try this game out for lots of laughs and lots of running! It’s another game that will not disappoint! (Thanks Chantal Dubois)
Grade level: 4-8 Equipment: Projector Game Description: Nazca Lines. Don’t know what they are? Look it up, they’re pretty cool. In this 6th game of the World Wonder series, groups (or the whole group) will try to make your own! Turn your gym into Peru and have some fun working together to communicate to complete some fun tasks while learning at the same time.
Grade level: K-8 Equipment: None Game Description: This is a very simple and very fun PE game. It’s a running wave game, students try to avoid the catchers. Use your school team name or mascot to boost school morale! (Thanks to Graham Bodnar)
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: 2-7 Equipment: None Game Description: A great game idea with no equipment needed! 3 different actions or poses: Gorilla, Man, and Gun. Uses the ‘Rock Paper Scissors’ format with a running portion and competition as well. Sure to get kids moving and having fun with decisive actions, movement execution, and chasing/fleeing.
