PUTTING IT ALTOGETHER!!! The “Jigsaw PE Skills- 30 Puzzle Cutouts & Activity Plan” product is a visual package of 30 PE skill-related exercise puzzles which includes an activity plan that implements the puzzles in a small group relay game.

The students then perform the movements (as a group) after they assemble each puzzle. This activity integrates locomotor movement, social interaction, cognitive ability and PE manipulative skills. Inside the packet are 30 separate PE Skill puzzles that include rep or time counts and a detailed activity plan that lists the: 1. Overview, 2. Grade levels, 3. SHAPE Standards, 4. Equipment, 5. Set Up, 6. Directions, 7. Modifications, and 8. A Diagram. PE teachers can use Jigsaw PE Skill puzzles as a warm up or as a method of practicing PE skills during units of study. Classroom teachers can use Jigsaw Fitness as a brain break, classroom energizer, recess activity or reward event. The Jigsaw PE Skill- 30 Puzzle Cutouts & Activity Plan packet was designed for all ages but is best suited for students from Kindergarten through 8th Grade.

The PE Alphabet Word Wall Display is a valuable resource that was designed to give physical education teachers the ability to easily display commonly used PE and Health-related words in their teaching areas. The product was developed using attractive and kid-friendly graphics, borders and font. This physical education resource was inspired by a request from Kentucky PE teacher, Jodi Sims, who was also instrumental in the word development and overall editing of the product. Inside the main PDF file, of this packet, you will find an oval-shaped graphic for each of the 26 letters and 6 PE-related words (all except for the letters X and Y, which have 3 words each) that correspond with each letter. Three words fit on one 8 1/2 by 11 inch page so they are big enough for a large gym wall. The letters and words are framed in similar colors and a kid-friendly sport image accompanies each letter. A separate, editable Power Point file is included in the zip folder that allows you to build your own displayable PE words. The editable file uses the same colors as the main PDF file so that you can match them up with the display letters. The display word font in the main PDF folder was constructed using BD Cartoon Shout however, the editable file has a more common font (Courier New) that many people already have in their PowerPoint programs. Since it is a truly editable file, you can always change the font to something else that you desire. The PE Alphabet Word Wall Display is an excellent way for you to discuss with your students terms that you commonly use during your daily PE lessons. The words in the main PDF file cover a diverse age group of students (2nd – 10th grades), however using the editable word building file, you can easily tailor your Alphabet Words to meet the needs of your specific student age group.
