Design and Reflect in PE

In one of our PE units during each Jr. High learning year, scholars are asked to create a game play for the unit they are in (Pillo Polo, Football, Hockey). They must create the play, draw and explain what will happen in it. They must assign a position to each member of their team and explain in detail what that teammate will do. After testing their play during a game in class, they will then reflect back on if it was successful or not and explain their answer.

Using Kahoot for Fun, New Knowledge, and Review

Kahoot is a "game website" where you can use others content or create your own of ANYTHING. I have created vocabulary or content review sessions. There are also options that others have created around holidays, TV shows, literally every content area. Students enjoy it for the competitive piece that makes the learning more fun. The top three students get put on a podium and the more points you score before time is up drives the "game". You can do it as a whole class, or even assign it as an individual task. There are also options for collaborations and lesson embedding options.
