Objectives & Outcomes

The learners will work on basic math skills while getting physically active through a relay race that requires problem solving.

Materials Needed

Small dry erase boards with markers (can create your own with construction paper or tag board in a sheet protector)

Room to run a relay

Large wall(s)

Procedure

Opening to Lesson

Begin by explaining to students that they will be placed on teams to run a relay race.

Explain that they will have to line up in the order they choose, run to the wall, solve a math problem without help, and then run back to tag the hand of their team member.

Tell students that they cannot help each other solve the problem. Explain that after all team members have run their problems will be checked, if one is wrong then the team can choose a single member to go correct the wrong answer.

This person can be decided on ahead of time.

Body of Lesson

Separate students in a random fashion into equal teams. Give students a few minutes to decide who will run in what order and who will run to fix any incorrect problems.

Make sure all problems are legibly written and can be reached by all students. Remind students they must tag the hand of the next runner before they can start. Make sure a line has been placed on the floor in front of each team.

On your say have students start the race. Make sure the students are answering questions correctly to know who wins the relay race.

Closing

Allow the winning team to choose how the next relay will be completed (crab walk, walking backwards, crawling, on scooter boards, etc.). Replace problems with new problems.

Assessment & Evaluation

Students will work together in a relay and correctly answer age appropriate math questions while doing physical exercise. The winning team will work the fastest as both runners and in correctly solving each math problem.

Modification & Differentiation

To keep teams even have students run twice if needed. Offer very simple problems for those students who may struggle or allow students to choose which problem to solve.

First graders were doing a practice Pacer Test, where I had them run the width of the gym instead of the length. I stopped the CD when they got to 25 laps. After class, they told their teacher they ran 25 miles.

Hi, and welcome to pegames.org. This site is dedicated to keeping kids active and engaged during physical activity, whether it is in the gym, outside or in the classroom. In this, the day and age of video games, Iphones and the like, it has never been more important, or necessary, to get our kids moving. The key, however, is to make sure that they are always having fun while doing it.

This site is designed specifically for anyone wanting to keep large groups of kids active. With all of our games, our mission is to keep the most amount of kids moving for the most amount of time possible. To this end, we do our very best to outline games with the smallest amount of equipment possible, and also make sure to give straightforward, simple explanations that will have your kids moving as soon as possible.

Every game, warm-up, challenge and activity on this site has been tested by our resident PE specialist. Mr. H. has been teaching physical education at the elementary school level for 7 years, and will make sure that we post only the best of the best.

As a Grade 7 teacher, it can be challenging to keep warm-up games and Daily Physical Activities fresh and new.Having participated in a number of these games, I feel I'll be able to provide greater variety to my students this year and beyond.

During the average 45 minute block of physical education, students are actually active (i.e. moving around, elevating their heart rates), for approximately 17 minutes (less than half!). With our website, and the hundreds (soon to be thousands, as our updates continue), of activities, warm-ups, games, individual and group challenges...etc. we aim to keep kids moving, moving, moving.

Please feel free to start navigating the site, as there are all sorts of options for physical activity for your students. We are updating daily, so please continue to check back frequently as there will always be something new to keep your kids smiling and active.

About MrGym.com

MrGym.com was is created by a Physical Education teacher, for other Physical Education teachers, students, enthusiasts and anyone interested in the physical fitness of today's youth..
Why: As a young elementary Physical Education teacher, I found myself constantly looking for new games, ideas, solutions to problems, etc. Back then, there was no Internet and personally, It was frustrating getting information from sources that had little or no experience in an actual classroom/gymnasium. Yes, there were great ideas, in theory, but as you know, what looks good in a book or a classroom, may not always work well when implemented into a classroom or gymnasium. Now I do not claim to be the foremost expert on Physical Education, but I do have 28 years of teaching experience. That is 28 years of trial and error work in the field, that with the introduction of the internet, I can share with other Physical Educators. MrGym.com is not just about me trying to share what knowledge I have gained, but is about gettingallphysical educators to share with each other, with the purpose of improving our physical education programs. Therefore, it is my hope that through this website, physical educators will have an opportunity to share, learn and communicate with other professionals who are "in the trenches" and have time tested ideas and theories that work.
When: MrGym.com first hit the Internet in January of 2004. In 2005, MrGym.com has quadrupled it's 2004 numbers in terms of visitors, hits, and pages viewed, and have doubled the 2005 numbers in 2006. Furthermore, we broke the 1 million hit mark in late September of 2006. In 2007 we had 2.4 Million hits by over 100,000 visitors, and as of May 2008, we have had 2.5 Million hits.
Story Behind the Name MrGym: In my early years of teaching, I taught several kindergarten classes for elementary physical education. One of these classes would greet me as Mr. Jim when they entered the classroom. I found this kind of strange, as my name is Doug. Anyway, this goes on for a short time before I approach their teacher to find out why they are calling me Jim. Upon talking to the teacher, I discovered that the students were told they were going to Gym and since they had never had PE they assumed that Gym (Jim) was my name, so they always greeted me as Mr. Jim (Gym). I thought this was a cool name and it fits this site very well.
Thank you for taking the time to visit MrGym.com, I hope you enjoy our site!
