THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!! Inside this PACKAGE are 2O, “fun and exciting” Christmas games and activities for PE or classroom teachers and are designed for use with a wide range of ages for students in grades Kindergarten through 6th. The PE Christmas Games and Activities are a “diverse” grouping of games and activities that range from short tag game “warm ups” to full lesson plans and holiday events. Each activity and game can be implemented in a gymnasium or a large empty classroom space using typical PE equipment with a few extra “Christmassy” additions to keep it “in the spirit of the season!” The games and activities were developed to address the National PE Standards and will complement and reinforce many of the concepts that a typical PE teacher would use throughout the school year. These concepts include the cardiovascular and muscular fitness, agility, speed, listening, following directions, cooperation and sportsmanship. The PE Christmas Games and Activities are ideal to implement during the weeks leading up to your winter holidays. They will naturally spark student excitement during the “most wonderful time of the year” by using traditional, Christmas-related themes and icons such as elves, Frosty, Jack Frost, Santa, reindeer, Northern Lights, and the North Pole. Students will love the activities and games and they 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 will ask for them between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. They can be used with up to 3 classes at the same time or as little as 1 small class. They are geared towards elementary-aged students, however they have used them with middle and high school students and they love them too!

GET YOUR “GAME FACE” ON!!! Inside this package are 25 dynamic “BREAKOUT GAMES” designed for students with a wide range of abilities and ages from 2nd Grade through 10th Grade.

The individual Breakout Games can also be utilized by a CLASSROOM TEACHER as an organized RECESS GAME ACTIVITY to keep students active and focused during their play time. In addition, many of the games make great small-group activities for school-wide events such as FIELD DAY or as a REWARD DAY. These games involve many PE related skills and team/movement concepts such as catching, throwing, kicking, striking, running, spinning, goal keeping, tracking, dodging, tagging, reaction time, cardiovascular endurance, teamwork, sportsmanship, hand-eye coordination, accuracy & agility. One great thing about these games is that students can be placed in “corresponding groups” that consider developmental ability and/or gender to help keep the games fair, even and safe for all.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME!!! The following fitness activity, What’s on Your Plate- Valentine’s Day Fitness Edition is a “high energy, fun and organized” PE Valentine-themed activity that can easily be used as a warm up, cool down, or extended as a “stand alone” activity during fitness instruction. Thirty, circular signs with corresponding fitness movements were created to help develop your students' personal fitness during those challenging weeks in the dead of the Winter. Your students will love the movement exercises and the Valentine-related graphics. They will want to repeat the activity many times during the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. 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- Valentine's Day 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. After printing and laminating the circular exercise and movement “plates”, spread them out on the floor around your room or gym, use UPBEAT music for start and stop cues; then let the students let loose and “move it, move it”!!! It is as simple as that. Don’t forget to demonstrate each movement or better yet, have selected students demonstrate the movements first before you begin the process. NOTE: Some of the graphics and Valentine's Day sayings on the exercise plates are similar to the graphics and sayings in my PE Valentine Exercise Cards and 4 Valentine's Day Activities, however the size of the circular plates are much larger than the exercise cards and both product activities are quite different. The PE Valentine Exercise Cards and Valentine’s Day Activities were designed for Kindergarten through 5th grade students.
