Sizzlin' Summer Games

 A new unit to our PE program is Sizzlin' Summer Games. Through the course of this unit we teach students four small group games, as well as introducing capture the flag. This unit falls under the category of Lifetime Activities. The small group games include KanJam, Bocce, Cornhole (pictured left), and Spikeball (pictured below). We also spend one day discussing capture the flag and how it is an activity they could set up with their friends on their own. What a fun unit, full of great opportunities to work towards improved social skills. Hopefully they found an activity they enjoyed and wish to continue playing in the future!

Flag Football


Flag Football Unit! Our first team sport unit of the year was our Flag Football unit. We discussed proper throwing mechanics and the many different routes you can run as a wide receiver. My goal for the students was to put them in a situation where they could set up, create rules, and play a flag football game without an adult being present. I wonder if any of them will find a way to set up a game on a weekend or evening? A great unit to kick off the year!
