Start your school year right, by getting kids happy and active, in the gym or outside, with our pegames.org books! This will be the only Physical Education book you’ll need this year to guarantee to keep the most kids happy and active for the most amount of time possible throughout the day!

These games are designed to maximize activity for kids in confined spaces (such as the classroom). Some of these games are high-intensity, some are based on movement that stimulates brain activity, and some are designed with the simple goal of getting kids up, active and happy to move.

Warm Up PE Games All of these games are designed to be played for between 5 and 10 minutes at the beginning or end of a PE period. When playing tag games, I like to use a specific colour dodgeball (ours is the “Evil Red Ball”), to distinguish who is “It.”

The object of the game is to steal the other team’s flag and bring it over the center line to your side without getting tagged. Anyone who is on the other team’s side, and is tagged by a member of that team, MUST go immediately to prison.

The next part of this game requires the students to work as a team and to do the action that the teacher calls out at the same time as one another. When they do the action, they must all freeze in that action’s position.

game. Astronauts can only hold one beanbag at a time. Aliens CANNOT follow the teacher and just wait to tag a returning astronaut. Aliens CAN guard, but not go inside, the black hole, and CAN try and block beanbags with their feet, and KICK THEM away, to keep them from the as-tronauts; BEANBAGS SHOULD ONLY EVER BE SLID ON THE GROUND, NEVER THROWN!

The game starts with the partners scattered around the gym, each group of 2 setting their ring between them. When the teacher says “GO,” the students can start to try and kick their ring so that it touches any one of the four walls.
