Name of Activity: Off to a Good Start (Bulletin Board)
Purpose of Activity: To have students identify strategies they will individually use to be successful in the physical education course or activity. It is hoped that students will examine all aspects of what makes a successful physical education student -attitude, effort, preparation, etc.
Suggested Grade Level: 6-12
Materials Needed: Lined paper plus writing utensil for each class member, Construction paper in a variety of colors, Markers, Bulletin board or other display area, Xerox copies of a sneaker for each class member.
Description of Idea
Students will complete a typed worksheet which
asks them to identify 5-10 actions they will take in
order to be successful in the physical education class.
(e.g., "I will come dressed for activity" or "I will
make a sincere effort at all times", etc.)
After
completing the worksheet (which I collect and read), students will decorate their own
individual sneaker.
A large octopus (made of construction
paper) with many "legs" is placed on the bulletin board
(I used my P.E. Leadership students to make this) and
as students complete the decoration of their personal
sneaker, they place it on the board on one or the tentacles
with a push pin.
Above the octopus is "Let's Get
Started on the Right Foot..."
At completion it provides a
very large visual reminding the entire group of their
collective efforts to do well in class.
