IT'S THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE GRAB A PLATE!!!
The following fitness activity, “What’s on Your Plate- Thanksgiving Day Fitness Edition” is a high energy, fun and organized. PE Thanksgiving-themed activity that can easily be used as a warm up, cool down, or extended as a “stand alone” activity during fitness instruction. Twenty circular signs with corresponding fitness movements were created to help develop your students personal fitness during those challenging weeks leading up to Thanksgiving day. Your students will love the movement exercises and the Thanksgiving-related graphics. They will want to repeat the activity many times during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving Break.
This fitness activity can be used in a gym setting, in a classroom or anywhere that you have some space to have kids perform some stationary exercises and movement skills in small groups. The “What’s on Your Plate- Thanksgiving Fitness Edition” is very easy to set up and can last anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending upon the duration you use per rotational movement set.
The What’s on Your Plate- Thanksgiving Fitness Edition was designed for Kindergarten through 6th grade students.
THESE RADICAL RELAYS REALLY ROCK!!!
Inside this PACKAGE are 25 fun and exciting relay activities for students designed for a wide range of ages from grades Kindergarten through 8th. The relays include: 1. A Puzzler, 2. ABC, 3. Balloon Bop, 4. Bean Bag Circle Run, 5. Beanie, 6. Blown Away, 7. Cooperative Triangle, 8. Dribbler, 9. Frankenstein Math, 10. Gather it up, 11. Jump and Run, 12. Loco-Jump, 13.Locomotion, 14. Noodler, 15. Obstacle Course, 16. Partner Toss, 17. Plate Skate, 18. Pyramid Building, 19. Scoot-Scoot, 20. Shoot the Hoop, 21. Shuttle Run, 22. Sling Shot, 23. Spelling, 24. Swap it and 25. Weave and Zag.
These are all extremely fun, fast-moving and energy boosting relay activities ideally suited for a “PE warm up” although they can also be used as an extension of a fitness lesson, during a special day like field day or as a lesson closer. 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” quick moving relays that students love and ask for on a regular basis. I have used them with up to 4 or 5 classes at the same time or as little as 1 class at a time. They are geared towards elementary-aged students, however I have used them with middle and high school students and they love them too!
These particular relays are not intended to be used as competition between groups but more as fun, fitness and skill building activities performed in small groups. The group suggestions are small (approx. 3 - 5 students per relay group/line) to keep the students’ activity level high.
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.
MEET THE PE SUPER FRIENDS!!!
The PE Super Friends Components of Fitness Signs include 11 Health and Fitness Related Display Signs that were created for younger students to help them relate to and understand the 5 Health and 6 Skill Related Components of Physical Fitness. The images are eye-catching and fun for children and the information communicates simple ideas about each component of fitness. Each sign includes the following informational tidbits that will help your students grasp a better understanding of the components of physical fitness: 1. a super hero name and image, 2. their favorite word, 3. their favorite food, 4. their favorite activity, 5. their super fuel, 6. their super power and 7. the component of fitness they represent.
The signs can be displayed in key areas of your gym to be highlighted during instruction. They can be used to reinforce the fitness-related concepts you cover during your class. Whether it is a game you are playing or a sport-specific skill you are working on, the health or skill related component signs can work as a valuable and practical tool for you to come back to time and time again!

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.
