Fun and Different Games for PE

As an aspiring physical education teacher, I am always looking for ways to make the game a bit more interesting or find out how certain teachers change up their games to make them more fun. Some things in the past that I have gotten to play that I would use in the classroom in the future that have a different twist on them are:

Fitness Kickball

Fitness kickball is just like regular kickball, only there a three-five balls in play at all times and you never stop running. In this game the pitcher keeps pitching and the players keep running until all balls that are in play are returned to a basket next to the pitcher. The person who kicked the ball does not stop running at all until they are told to change sides or have crossed home plate. The object here is constant movement, no down time waiting for someone to be gotten out so you can have your turn.

Scooter Hockey

Scooter Hockey was a fun one at my grammar school. This game is basically floor hockey on a scooter. You get a scooter and a very short stick and usually has two on offense, two on defense, and one in the goal. Numbers may vary depending on space and class size. This game allows multiple players to be playing a time and if you have the gym space you can have multiple games going on at once.

Deck Tennis

Deck Tennis is a mixture of ring toss, Frisbee, and volleyball. This game you play with a rubber ring and a volleyball net. Depending on your class size you can put about four or five students in three rows. The object of the game is to serve the ball with a forehand frisbee throw and then both teams throw it back and forth without switching the ring in the hand you caught it with, until it hits the floor and someone scores a point. The main object of this game is to get everyone in the game at the same time.
