Are they getting rid of all pe teachers? I just returned from a Bal-A-Vis-X workshop and am ready to "quit my day job," which is teaching pe, to promote this program. It incorporates racketballs, beanbags, and balance boards into improving math, reading, behavior problems....basically everything dealing with schools. Anytime I can bounce balls and help kids, I'm gung ho. Actually I am not planning on quitting my teaching job---(I had to wait forever for one of the 2 past pe teachers to finally retire but during that time I took a 17-year maternity leave!) Anyway, check it out on the internet...it's a program which is being used for everyone from 3 to 103 years old...any nursing homes in your area? Check it out, it might just be something you'd enjoy!
I was wondering if anybody had some fun, interactive games for 5th grade students to help them learn about Social Studies? What are some fun games to help students learn about maps, graphs, and different parts of the world?
I am a college education student and am currently an elementary education major but am thinking about changing to physical education. I am worried about the job openings though. How did you continue through without getting discouraged?
All you’ll need to play is four similar shaped tables. Round, Rectangular, Square, any shape works – as long as you have four tables you can play!
Since the game was created in different locations around a school, it’s designed to be played almost anywhere! The best areas are on a gym court near a wall, a outdoor playground surface, or in a classroom void of obstacles. Place the four tables a yard apart from each other in the best area you can find in your facility. If you have a measurement tool, make sure the tables are similarly spaced to insure a fair advantage for each table.
All the rules here are shown in the instructional video, you may choose to show the video to your students, or teach them how to play yourself.
If you like a Hantis Action Pack, includes dvd - rulebook - tennis balls - w/ survey, contact Ben Fatherree at [email removed]
I know this is a bit late but if you have to do it again...speed stacking. Tons of info as to why it is beneficial to students all ages and can easily be done in a library setting. Look out though as the classroom teachers may steal your idea. The company will send out complimentary stacks and you can "check out" up to 30 sets for 7 weeks on a trial basis. Excellent program....speedstacks.com! My classes love it.
I am on line looking and looking for something that will make treadmill workouts less boring. Any sites you might suggest would be helpful Thanking you in advance.
Just a suggestion...get off the treadmill and take a walk outside. Don't forget your mp3 player so you have a little pep in your step! Treadmills are alot like a team of sled dogs...if you're not the lead dog, the scenery NEVER changes- just like on a treadmill.
It is a stuggle each week to work with these students. We play a lot of games together and I think what I need is some ideas for Co-operative games and activities.
Any book suggestions, websites, advice, ?????? Please :)

Hi i have been teaching p.e. for the last 16 years, i taught middle school boys and girls for the last 6 years in alabam. But i found out that partner games work. I also notice that every game has a 2 or 3 girl handicap rule. For an example in basketball the girls must touch the ball 2 or 3 times before the boys can score, the same thing in flag football. I also keep stats for most of the games we play such as basketball stats, assist-baskets score, basket attempts- rebounds-hustle-and FT's. Then i post it on the bulletin board, this make the girls try a little harder.Continue to preach to boys that the girls must be involve if not someone will sit out!
My name is Ben Fatherree. I am an undergraduate at Northern Kentucky University as well as the president and founder of NKU's Hantis Club Chapter. Our 30 members compete in tournaments on campus, hold demos in the region, and four members just returned from Ecuador where they were sharing the sport with students in the Amazon. On behalf of our organization and NKU, we know the best way to get students to be more active, successful participants in the classroom is to get them more excited and involved. A great way to do this is through being physically active; playing games and sport activites. We’d like to offer your P.E. department a complimentary package, designed by our club members, to introduce you and your students to a new activity you'll both enjoy. Most certainly, your school already has all the equipment necessary to play, just four tables and one tennis ball.
The activity is similar to ping-pong and volleyball, making it very simple to learn. We’ve already introduced the game to kids (age 9-15), as well as physically handicapped players who've shared in the fun. For you, we can provide teaching materials and a short DVD for the students. If you’d like to try out this new activity, please respond and we’ll be glad to send you a complimentary Hantis Action Pack*. There are no strings attached, we really enjoy sharing this cool sport and influencing more kids to become physically active.
Included in the Hantis Action Pack 1 Instructor Guide 2 Tennis Balls 3 Minute Instructional DVD video and a short survey**
*If you want a packet ASAP, please include the school’s Full Mailing Address in your response email. **Unless you inform us otherwise, we will use Your Name as the addressee.
We hope that you will try out our packet even if your school already has plenty of activities. This game is easy to setup, quick to learn, to teach a lot of students fast. Yes, the game can be challenging to some, but once they score their first point, they'll be hooked. To know more about the sport of hantis, visit [link removed].

I am a former resource teacher who helped coach college students to pass PRAXIS. So here are some tips: Go back to the results and study each category-figure out which area you are scoring poorly on and focus on those areas. Some sources for help are Morrison Media Flash cards and Cracking the Praxis is an excellent source
Check with college students. My daughter is a junior and just passed the test. She said it was tough but she did fine on it. I'm guessing from the descriptions of her classes, the professors are almost teaching to the test...kind of like regular schools who are having troubles meeting NCGA (No Child Gets Ahead) standards!
