PREPARE TO BE CORNERED!!!
Inside the FOUR CORNER FITNESS ACTIVITY PACKAGE are 3 comprehensive, activity description plans with 3 coordinating sets of graphic movement signs for CARDIO, BALANCE and FLEXIBILITY (8 signs for each fitness component). Also included is a set of 8 Locomotor Movement signs that “link up” the 4 Corners.
This Four Corner Fitness Activity is ideal as a quick starter instant activity, a fitness unit lesson or 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. “Four Corner Fitness” has been designed for Kindergarten through 8th grade students.
The movements are designed to get the students engaged and moving as soon as they enter the gym or playing area. There is virtually no waiting time. The first student in the door can begin to move right away. They are a fantastic way to maximize the students’ participation and activity time, ultimately boosting their personal fitness levels. You can focus on a particular component of fitness or “mix and match” signs.
During “Four Corner Fitness”, students use a variety of locomotor movement to travel from corner to corner. When they arrive at a corner, they perform the task (movement) depicted and described on the included signs. Although some of the activities require equipment or teaching aids, many do not and can be incorporated quite easily without a great deal of “set up” or “break down” effort.
Students will get their heart rates up and not even know they are getting a great workout because they will be having so much fun. These activities are “tried and true” and students ask for them on a regular basis. I have used them with up to 3 or 4 classes at the same time or as little as 1 class at a time.

This colorful “Math in Physical Education- Intermediate Version” poster describes how we as PE teachers implement math in our daily physical education classes. We often use math in many of our PE activities and games but rarely highlight what we do and explain how we do it for others to see. This poster “packs a punch” providing PE examples of math concepts (3rd- 6th Grade) for Operations, Fractions/Decimals, Measurement, Geometry and Data Collection. It also includes a corresponding “action-based” movement image for each example that will help your students easily relate.
The following printable display signs were created as a visual aid showcasing nine manipulative skills which include: catching, tossing (underhand), throwing (overhand), dribbling with feet, kicking, punting, dribbling with hands, volleying, and striking. Each individual “Manipulative Skill” sign has been uniquely created with vibrant colors and attractive text. The signs provide instructions on how to perform each manipulative skill and also include colorful backgrounds and exciting graphics that grab the students’ attention. The signs can be displayed in key areas of your gym to be highlighted during P. E. skill instruction. They can easily be used to reinforce the movement concepts and skill cues 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!
