FITNESS IN 3D!!!
The PE Cube Fitness product provides 17 exercise and dice, constructible cubes that can be used in a variety of warm-up or fitness related PE activities. After printing off the template sheets, the cubes are easily constructed by cutting, folding and gluing tabs. Once constructed, VOILA, you have a cool “3D” method to ENGAGE your students in their learning!!!
The PE Fitness Cubes work like dice and can be rolled by students to provide them with an assortment of strength, flexibility, plyometric, Yoga, locomotor and manipulative skill movements. In addition (pardon the pun), six of the Cube templates are number and symbol images and work to complement the fitness dice by providing numbers for exercise reps and movement time which will add an element of mathematics to your lesson. Students will a have the chance to add, subtract and multiply numbers as they “roll the dice” and move. Inside the packet are also 6 suggested Fitness Cube activities that you can do with your students!
The PE Cube Fitness product has been broken down into 3 categories:
Grouped Fitness Cubes: these are cubes that have been categorized by various fitness elements (great for station work) and include: 1. Flexibility, 2. Plyometrics, 3. Strength, 4. Yoga, 5. Locomotor Movement and 6. Manipulative skills
Cross Training Cubes: these cubes combine one of each of the above fitness elements on each cube. These cubes provide a better “mixed” grouping of exercises which works better with large group activities).
Number and Symbol Cubes: these cubes complement and work in conjunction with the Grouped Fitness and Cross Training Cubes. With them, you are able to have students roll multiple die which gives students the ability to assign numbers to reps, time to movements and they even provide the opportunity for students to add, subtract and multiply in PE class.

BRAIN BOOSTS FOR YOUR STUDENTS!!!
Have you ever noticed your students getting the "Hum Drums"? Do they get fidgety or lose concentration at certain times of the day? Do they look at you like..... "Hey Teach, can we get up and move a little"!!!

The "energizer" cards are very colorful, including graphics and detailed instructions that include an overview, set up, equipment needed, directions and modifications.

DEVELOPING AN APPRECIATION FOR OTHERS!!!
The “Creating Awareness of Exceptional Children product provides activities and experiences that will expose students to a number of exceptionalities (disabilities) and provide movement experiences to simulate them. The primary goal is for the students to nurture acceptance of and develop an appreciation, awareness and respect for individuals with exceptionalities and the challenges they experience in their daily lives. By understanding the challenges others face, students will value diversity and hopefully become advocates for individuals with disabilities in and beyond the school setting. The activities encourage opportunities for students to share feelings and personal information about the issues exceptional children face.
Inside this product is comprehensive grouping of activities, signs and task cards (descriptors and images), along with a full lesson plan, circuit diagram and an optional assessment exit slip. The station task cards provide interesting movement experiences that help (in a small way) replicate some of the following exceptionalities; Visual Impairment (blindness), Auditory Impairment (deafness), learning disabilities, brain injuries, movement disorders and paralysis. The students work together with their classmates to go through courses blindfolded, balance on apparatus while performing tasks, move in wheelchairs, execute movements while being restricted and using signs and signals to cue other students.
The PE Fitness Testing Display Banners have been uniquely developed as a valuable and attractive visual aid when implementing Physical Fitness Assessment during your physical education classes. The banners showcase 7 of the most common fitness tests utilized by current practicing physical education teachers.

1. One Mile Run/Walk, 2. Pacer/Beep Test, 3. Curl-Up, 4. Push-Up, 5. Sit and Reach, 6. Trunk Lift. and 7. Flexed Arm Hang
The problem with display boards and banners 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 Display Banners are designed to cover a large space on your gym wall or hallway leading in to your gym. Your students, administrators, colleagues and parents know that you are serious about assessment and the physical fitness of your students.
Each individual PE Fitness Testing Display Banner is made up of 8 connecting 8 ½” by 11” sheets making a large vertical banner. Seven large vertical banners and 1 “Fitness Testing” title banner make up the entire display board (64 sheets in all). Each Standard Banner is made up of the following components: 1. Title of the assessment (i.e. Curl Up), 2. Description of the test, 3. Component of physical fitness, and 4. Colorful graphics that match the test. The PE Fitness Testing Display Banners are colorful but have a white background as to not use up too much ink when you print.
