Grant is a Phys. Ed. teacher in AVRSB. He had some awesome games that can be played by anyone, and he shared it with us.  Here are a few of them.

          I loved the icebreaker game! It was great for building observation skills, and it gets people moving and anyone can do it.  The idea of teaching the skill is the new philosophy of teaching phys. ed.  
          Grant used a pylon as a tee.  I think this is a great adaptation.  For one thing it is thicker and more colorful than a tee.  This may help students who are visually impaired or who have trouble with hand-eye co-ordination. Danish Long Ball is the best game for teaching hitting.  It is much easier than soccer baseball.  
 

        








   Then Goal ball- Using blindfolds, we try to score on each other, using a ball with a bell inside.  It is very intimidating, not being able to know what is around us.  Roxanne uses trust walks and things to warm the students up to the idea.  

Sit Volleyball is just like regular volleyball, but one butt cheek has to always be on the ground.and the net is lowered.

Bocci ball- Rolling down two balls.  The target ball and the other ball.  You can score the ball that is closest to the target ball. He assesses angles, speeds, do they know which color they are going for, etc.
We were so lucky to have A phys. Ed.Teacher who had so many useful activities that could be done in many places.

      He will even get students to dance and he video tapes people, so that they don't have to perform in front of their peers.This is a great way to reduce anxiety for the students. 
      He uses Coach's Eye, and it breaks down an activity into its constituent skills.  It actually requires that you take a video of a subject, and it analyzes it!  Here is the link, https://www.coachseye.com/.
  You just have to watch the video of how it is used!

Here are my kids, doing a little inventive playing...
