For the physical education teachers who are on the look out for fresh perspectives and new activities that will engage their students and liven up their days, the Utah Education Network has provided dozens of resources that can do just that. On the site, lessons plans are organized by grade, starting with third grade and moving one grade at a time up to the eighth grade (for Kindergarten, first, and second grades, readers may click on a link to navigate to a separate page). Along the way educators will find fun and educational exercises. For example, PE with a Hint of History uses large pictures of famous people, inventions, and countries to combine learned history/social studies facts with PE activities and skills. Shark Island, meanwhile, uses scooters, balls, bean bags, or whatever materials are on hand to institute an advanced game of tag with an emphasis on team building.
