QUICK GAMES for FUN & FITNESS - (90 mins to 1/2 day) This is the session that has ignited my passion for sharing with fellow professionals. Quick Games for Fun & Fitness has been shared at the Shape America National Expo three times. An evolving collection of instant activities, lead-ups and large group games that will re-energize your program. Indoors or outside, participants learn how to maximize student participation while including all populations K-12. Large group movement activities involving cooperation, social interaction and smooth transitions from one activity to the next are the hallmark of the session's instructional design. The high level of student engagement and sustainability provide many activities ideal for teachers to use on a daily basis and as lessons when teachers are absent from school. Participants and attendees leave with dozens of new approaches to reach their students. These are essential organizational activities for those who lead people through movement!
Ropes, Cones and Fun with Heart Zones Come join in the fun of exciting large-group activities that use minimal equipment while maximizing movement. Students have so much fun they do not even realize they are engaging in MVPA (moderate to vigorous activity), but you learn how to make this meaningful connection. Teachers can highlight multiple ways to identify heart rate and the benefits of aerobic activities while playing exciting games that develop positive social interaction and leadership.
