Daily Physical Activity in Schools

Teachers play a great role in modeling and engaging students in a variety of activities, whether it is during recess, a pause break before a lesson or when implemented as a goal that students will be responsible to complete independently. Some great activities to keep students active and engaged throughout the day are:

        Lime/Egg and Spoon Races                                          On the Bank in the River

Around the World                                                                  Sack Race

    Shoes and Socks Race                                      What time is it Mr. Wolf? Exercise\           component for the time.

Have you ever, questions or statements?

This game is played in a circle with small square mats. One player begins the game by standing in the middle of the circle. After the statement or question is said, if it resonates with the players, they will run across the circle from one square to the next. The last person left standing without a square mat  will then move to the center of the circle and the game continues.
