Make up Bingo-style sheets for your students with exercises listed in the squares, along with the number of repetitions or length of time for each exercise. These might include 10 pushups, burpees or jumping-jacks; 20 seconds of mountain-climbers, jumping rope or running in place; and so on. Give each student a Fitness Bingo sheet and a marker to mark off which activities they complete as the teacher calls them out.
This four-square version of volleyball is a super-fun take on the traditional game. CROSSNET targets throwing and catching skills and helps kids develop their hand-eye coordination, while tapping into their competitive natures. Best of all, this game gets kids moving while also honing their listening skills. The basic, classic format of the game involves setting up chairs in a circle with their backs to the inside of the circle, starting with one fewer chair than the total number of students playing the game.
Students form an outer ring around the chairs and walk, skip, run or jump around the chairs to music. When the teacher hits Pause at random moments, everyone must scramble to find a seat. Depending on the age of your PE students, you can add fun twists to the game to switch things up and help your students work toward different fitness goals.
For example:. Walking, running, skipping and hopping are all fun ways to move around the circle as the music plays, but students can also do other fitness-building movements around the chairs, such as lunges, dancing, high-knees, running backward or somersaults if the game can be played on mats or another soft surface.
Add extra movement requirements for students to perform as quickly as possible when the music stops: Have them do five jumping-jacks or touch their heads, shoulders, knees and toes before finding a chair. This is another simple movement game that seems childish but can be lots of silly fun for all ages, and which can be used to build cardio endurance, strength or flexibility as well as skills related to listening, observing and following instructions.
Whereas regular interval training has runners recover between higher-intensity intervals by walking or even stopping altogether, Fartlek training has athletes continue running at a steady pace between bursts of speed, which helps condition both the body and the mind to build speed and endurance. Best of all, the natural challenge and variations inherent in Fartlek training can keep students motivated and engaged.

Freeze Tag. Crazy Hoops. Capture the Flag. Frisbee Golf. Topple Ball. Thanks to Anne Guilmaine for this idea. Place a bunch of hula hoops between teams in a line. Loser must jump out and join the end of the line while the winner keeps advancing. Meanwhile the next player in line from the losing side jumps in and hops towards the opponent. Grade level: K-8 Equipment: Coins example: pennies Game Description: Coin collectors can be played in the gym or adapted for outside, and used for any age group.
Start by having players line up at one end of the gym facing the wall no peeking! The teacher hides coins scattered throughout the gym floor. When they find one, they stand on it and stay there.
Once all the coins are found, the players who did not find one have to do 10 jumping jacks, or crunches, or pushups, etc player or teacher can choose. Players then line up again, while teacher takes out one coin and re-hides the rest. Continue to take out one coin each round until there is only one coin remaining to be hidden.
To determine how many coins to use: take the class size and cut it in half, and that is how many coins to start with if 20 people in class, hide 10 coins.
