Reinventing the Game
AUGUST 27, 2021
So recently, it has been crazy. The amount of administration to support teaching seems to have almost overwhelm actual direct teaching matters. It is almost seems that because there is less direct focus on teaching but nonetheless an incredible amount of very genuine and sincere efforts to prep for eventual teaching scenarios, we drop the metaphorical ball of ensuring learning takes place.

One of the things I worried about the most my first year of teaching PE was what to do if I needed a substitute. This was also in the time of COVID, when we were bouncing back and forth between in-person and hybrid, so even I wasn't sure what we would be doing one week to the next. No matter the climate, having solid substitute plans are an important part of getting set up for PE-- it will alleviate stress when you're probably already stressed enough with whatever is taking you from school that

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

One of the first things I like to teach each year in PE are Sub Games. These are simple games with minimal equipment that work (with adjustments) K-5 as much as possible. I want students to know these games and play them with me, so that way if a sub presents it, they are aware of the rules, the equipment, and are ready to play. Many of my Sub Games are tag, relay, or whole-class challenges.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

However, there are times when coloring is exactly what a student (or adult!) needs, and that's when these Calming Coloring Sheets are the solution. I always have a few of these sheets around if a student asks or I know it would be an appropriate option.

Emotions in PE can sometimes run wild. The large space, the movement and excitement, and the different opportunities for interaction are both positives and potential drawbacks during class. When students start to derail, it it best not to immediately jump to punishment since it will be challenging to enforce, hard to deal with in a private manner, and (in the heat of the moment) will usually end up with more yelling and heightened emotions.
