Rainbow Hockey in PE. K-2 activity. Stick handle an object and then when close enough shoot it into one of the six colored goals. Bring stick and object back and check off the color you scored in. When you get all six colors trade in for a new object to use.

Gopher Sport NowNets are the best. Paddle tennis with balloons for K-2 grades.

Birdies and Buckets. Fun way to practice serving underhand or backhand. Students must track the shuttle so that they can catch it. If caught move spot ahead. Once they make a touchdown go to next level.

Paddle or Noodle Basketball. We used paddles first then traded for noodles later. Lots of fun and laughter. Great way to include passing, striking to a target, amount of force to strike, and different levels of striking.

2 Paddle striking games going on at same time for k-2. 1. Paddle For Points 2. Paddle Bowling.

Thanks to @CoachPenrod4 for this idea for an adapted hand dribbling ball for student in wheelchairs.

Working on batting and fielding skills this week. We use this video on YouTube from Mr. Stebbin as a virtual pitcher so younger students can practice swinging before using the tees and bats later in lesson.

Another year of the game Champion Lacrosse. 14 yarn balls, 10 pins on each side, 3 teams, make a neutral zone. 2:00 time limits. Students enjoyed this last game of unit to wrap up our lacrosse skills.

Working on shooting and goalie skills in lacrosse. The class watched a short video with Paul Rabil showing how to shoot @ goal. We used a yarn ball! Before using goalies, we practiced with empty goals.

Last week gr3-5 did long handle implement of Ringette. 1st lesson was 1v1. 2nd lesson was 2v2. Used plastic wands as sticks and deck rings as rings. Showed the students a video from youtube what real Ringette looks like to give an idea what it really looks like.

Last week we did some short handle striking with striking back and forth, then played a game of 1v1 then the next PE day 2v2. We called it Paddle Battle.

Score It. Basketball shooting lead up with our 1st/2nd combo class. Differentiate shooting heights for their success. How high can they build a pyramid with cups? More challenging the basket/target the more cups you can add to the pyramid.

Working on our dribbling skills. Thanks Coach Smith. @kellidsmith

Cupstacking lesson #2. 1. Team Relay w/timer. 2. Self timer. 3. Doubles partners-one partner is the right hand other partner is the left hand. 4. BattleStacks-a friendly competition, first one down pushes the hand spots which tips over their opponent.

Helping students with Cupstacking in PE. Shoutout to my teaching partner with this simple but effective idea. Never seen this done before. It worked great with a student of mine. Thought I would share.

Shoutout to BowlersEd for borrowing out this bowling equipment to our district. Ball, weighted pins, and mats.
