· ALL, Brain Breaks, Fitness, Fun, Gr 1, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Small Group, Warm-up

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.

Sprinters

· ALL, Fitness, Gr 1, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8, K, No Equipment!, Outdoor, Small Group, Warm-up

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.

Collect Them All

· ALL, Fun, Gr 1, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Gr 7, Gr 8, K, Small Group, Soccer, Team-building

Grade level: K-8
Equipment: Hula hoops, balls
Game Description: Here’s a teamwork and team-building game that you can use with any age level (even adults can play). Teams work together to collect as many balls as they can. Use foam balls, volleyballs, pickleballs, whiffle balls, whatever balls you have actually! It’s a quick and fun activity; and as always make sure to discuss positive ways to work as a team (decisions, words, listening, guiding, etc) as opposed to fighting, arguing, bossing around, etc.
