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!
Secondary Classroom Plans that make students fans Participate in practical health education activities and classroom PE activities that center around the principles of SEL while infusing the vocabulary of the International Baccalaureate course titled “Sports, Exercise and Health Science.” The activities link biology and physics to health education class through reaction time, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills while supporting data collection, handwriting and positive social interactions. Students love these limited space, table-top activities and so will you! This session was a packed house in Baltimore 2025!
