When I began my teaching career in 2007, I was 22 years old. Four years of college had gone by faster than I could blink my eyes and then I was back in high school — now responsible for the education of students who were only four to seven years younger than me. Like the Eminem song, my palms were sweaty, my knees were weak, and my arms were heavy. I was scared out of my mind.

A games-based approach can be mistakenly considered as a game-as-teacher approach. This is because children can learn from playing the game. The mistake is not that children can learn from playing the game. Of course they can.

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.

There are several logistical points that need to be figured out such as: the daily schedule, need for parent volunteers, other staff responsibilities, the number of grade levels involved at a time, and the most important, the theme of the event.

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.

Over the last decade, young people have begun spending drastically more time engaging with media, particularly digital media. This often exposes them to content and influences far beyond their maturity levels. The messages, images and information they engage with every day through media help shape their beliefs, attitudes, values, and identity. That’s why it’s so important to empower young people with the skills to recognize the shaping effects of media.
