Even 8th graders love the giant Omnikin ball on a rainy day. So many smiles and laughs. @CoachCavotes @OakPark97 #physed #omnikin #crabsoccer

6th grade working on creating nutrient posters individually or in small groups. They choose the nutrient and whether to complete it in Google or by hand. @OakPark97 @CoachCavotes #nutrition #nutrients #studentchoice #healthed

Another brain break idea in Health - “flick” or “pop” noodle pieces and try to catch the other noodle. Take a break from sitting and learning about nutrients! So many smiles. @OakPark97 @CoachCavotes #brainbreak #noodles #handeyecoordination

Switch w/ 2nd - 5th grade by @OPENPhysEd. It’s a good “next level” for keep away. Great game to practice offense and defense and an element of scoring. #whs44 #PhysEd #offense #defense

Step 1 w/ K-1 learning “Bounce Brigade.” Same relay but use spider balls to roll instead of bouncing to the bucket. Their curriculum is also different (see comments). @pe2themax #whs44 #PhysEd #HealthEd #rolling #teamwork #nervoussystem #5senses

Bounce Brigade by @pe2themax w/ the addition of Nervous System Vocab. Matching. 2nd - 5th will all play w/ different curriculum. Great for teamwork, strategy & problem-solving. #whs44 #PhysEd #nervoussystem #HealthEd #strategy #teamwork #problemsolving

4th grade w/ their 10 Nervous System Matches
Modification of @pe2themax’s “The Great Escape.” GREAT throwing/rolling game. 3 levels: roll at pins, throw at whiffle balls on cones & throw to get a ball in each round net. Throw/roll from the purple line. #whs44 #PhysEd #throw #roll #targetgame

Move the Mat - another classic target throwing activity by @pe4everykid. Students do a nice job focusing to earn cubes at each end of the gym when they make it across. #whs44 #PhysEd #throwing #targetgame #teamwork #partners

Catch 5 Keep Away w/ 2nd - 5th. Highlight moment of the day - using a grab ball rather than a gatorskin ball. Throws & catches are SO much more successful. Catch 5 in a row, earn a point & the ball goes to the other team. Drop the ball - ball goes to other team. #whs44 #PhysEd
