Grade level: 3-8
Equipment: None (or a variety)
Game Description: Came up with an easy fitness activity that had maximal engagement. In this activity, students will go full-out exercise for 1 minute, then a 20s break, then on again for 1 minute, then a break, etc. I also use laminated posters as visuals to help students choose which exercises they wish to complete, but that’s optional. Here’s a link to the posters if you want (free download, absolutely no spam or promotion, etc): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1clLqzemKN-USZ7tOMx2oXah6YKJVVBC3/view

Sprinters

Grade level: K-8

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.
