Welcome PE Nation!
Today I want to explore five traditional PE games that need makeovers to increase student engagement, maximize participation, and ensure all students benefit regardless of athletic ability.
• Tic-Tac-Toe relay and other relay races need smaller groups of 3-4 students to prevent excessive standing around
• Hula Hoop Rock-Paper-Scissors games should include multiple pathways with fewer students per team
• Full-class team sports should be replaced with small-sided games (4-6 players) and modified rules
• Dodgeball raises concerns about targeting students, creating fear, and elimination - consider games with non-human targets instead
• Elimination games should be modified to quickly return students to play or completely remove the elimination aspect
Take care,
Dave
