Every May, we celebrate physical educators and coaches — the “champions” who help kids gain the confidence, competence, and motivation to be physically active in school, before and after school, and for the rest of their lives. Implement games into warmups and lessons that foster and complement the development of motor skills.

Games help provide different structure. Not only helpful in PE, games can be incorporated into Math and English. We teach games in PE class to teach concepts like resilience and persistence. Games can also be used in other key learning areas to help with knowledge retention and structure.
