This “Applying the National PE Standards” Display Board has been uniquely developed as a valuable and attractive visual aid for standards based programs in physical education. The problem with display boards in a gym is that they are often too small so the students, teachers, and visitors cannot read the information posted rendering it inadequate for its prime purpose. These Banners are designed to cover a large space on your gym wall or hallway leading in to your gym. All that observe the Display Board can clearly see the attractive writing and graphics that make it up. Your students, administrators, colleagues and parents know that you are serious about establishing and maintaining a “Standards-Based” Program in physical education. Each “Applying the National Standards" Banner (NASPE Standard's 1 through 5) is made up of 8 connecting 8 ½” by 11” sheets making a large banner. There are currently 5 National PE standards; therefore 5 large banners make up the Display Board (48 in all). Each banner is made up of the following components: 1. Standard Title, 2. The Standard wording, 3. Description of how the standard is implemented, and 4. Eye catching graphics that go along with the Standard. The “Applying the National PE Standards” Display Board is colorful but has a white background as to not use up too much ink when you print. NEW- I have recently added a folder of "Non-Segregated" JPEG images of the banners for those that have a school poster maker or are willing to pay a company like Office Depot to print out poster-sized replications of the images. This alternate method for producing the large banners saves time but may not have the same quality as printing out the individual PDF 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheets on a color printer and constructing the banner by hand. The wording and description used in the banners are helpful as a reference for you as a teacher and can be highlighted during PE lessons. The entire “Applying the National PE Standards” Display Board (made up of 5 Banners) is meant to be laminated and can be use for many years. This display board will be attention-grabbing and can be utilized as an effective teaching tool during your lessons.

COME ON BABY, DO THE LOCOMOTION!!! The Locomotor Cards and Labyrinth Activity is great way for your students to improve their locomotor movement, build strength/endurance and have fun too!!! This activity was also put together to teach students to move, in a variety of ways, from POINT A TO POINT B. The students are put in a labyrinth (a maze made with cones) inside a gym, classroom or an outside playing area and they perform a number of locomotor movements as they travel through it (to music). The students will recognize the locomotor movements from the signs and then they will read, follow and perform the appropriate cues for each of the movements based on the signs (included in this package). The LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENT CARDS AND ACTIVITY PACKAGE includes the following: 1 Comprehensive Lesson Plan which includes; object of the lesson, NASPE Standards addressed, set up procedures, learning outcomes, essential questions, modification ideas, instructions for the activity, materials/resources, safety and assessment 1 Detailed Diagram of the Labyrinth set up 25 “LOCOMOTOR” MOVEMENT CARDS to be used inside the Labyrinth Activity – there are enough cards to do the activity several times using different LOCOMOTOR movements each lesson. This Locomotor Labyrinth Activity is ideal as a PE Warm Up, a Fitness Unit Lesson, a Locomotor Movement Unit or possibly as a closer for a general PE class. Classroom teachers could also use this activity inside their classrooms or outside in a playing area such as a playground or field. The Locomotor Labyrinth and Cards have been designed for Kindergarten through 5th grade students. The Locomotor Movement Labyrinth Activity and 25 Movement Cards requires very little equipment- several cones, polyspots, and/or gym lines to mark rows inside the Labyrinth is all you would need.

TS TIME TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT!!! The following Brain and Body Break Movement Centers have been exclusively created for classroom teachers to give their children an opportunity to move and energize their bodies so that they are able to refocus and learn! The movement centers are an excellent tool for developing your students’ heart and muscles and also benefit their brains. Several recent studies have shown how important it is for children to "move" throughout the day to help them stay "sharp" and ready to learn! The “Rockin Movement Centers” can be done directly in your classrooms as individual large group activities lead by the teacher or in a more traditional “small group format”, where the students read the task cards and perform the movement in designated areas in your classroom, outside at recess, or in another facility such as an empty room or gym. These centers were selected and modified from my “PE stations” Series because of their ability to be performed in limited space areas. Most of the centers require no equipment and a few of them require 1 or 2 items per child or partner group. Many of the items you could borrow from your PE teacher or collect in your classroom for continued use. If you are a PE teacher and have previously purchased any of my PE Stations products, you already have many of these items (in a slightly different format) and will not need to purchase these centers. All 75 of the activities are suitable for boys and girls and can be adapted to match your limited equipment and space restraints. Since there are 75 total Rockin Movement Center cards, you can easily mix them up throughout the school year and have more than enough activities to use for many break times, transitions, recess, testing pauses, or adapted schedule change opportunities. The cards provide brief directions with entertaining graphics and also include the motor skill or fitness concept addressed during the movement. If you lack the equipment or space for one or more of the stations, feel free to adapt it in whatever way best meets the needs of your children and your unique situation. Play music indoors during movement or take some of the center cards outside on great weather days and you will bring great enjoyment and rejuvenation to your students every day!!!

The following printable display signs were created as a visual aid showcasing the 6 principles of exercise training (overload, specificity, progression, reversibility, adaptation and individual differences) and the 4, FITT guidelines (Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type). Each individual “principles of exercise training” sign has been uniquely created with vibrant colors and attractive text. The signs provide definitions and examples/extensions of each principle and include exciting graphics that grab the students’ attention. The signs can be displayed in key areas of your gym to be highlighted during instruction. They can easily be used to reinforce the exercise concepts you cover during your class. The signs will surely be noticed by your students, principals, parents and colleagues and will work as a valuable tool for you to come back to time and time again!
