Would You Rather FOOD Edition Brain Break

· 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.

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.

4 vs 1

· ALL, Fun, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, Gr 5, Gr 6, Outdoor, Small Group, Warm-up

Grade level: 2-6
Equipment: cones

Rush Hour

· ALL, Fun, Gr 1, Gr 2, Gr 3, K, Large Group, No Equipment!, Warm-up

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)

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.

Snowball Races

· ALL, Gr 1, Gr 2, Gr 3, Gr 4, K, Warm-up

Grade level: K-4
Equipment: cones, exercise balls, optional Christmas music
Game Description: Another Christmas physical education game idea. It’s simple, yet really fun! Players will be in relay teams. Each group will get a large exercise ball, which represents their snowball. And they’re going to run! And they’re going to race! They must keep control of the ball. Play your favourite upbeat Christmas music for extra excitement. Also great as a warm-up.
