Name of Activity:
Golden Sneaker Award
Purpose of Activity:
To encourage students to participate in physical education using the proper behavior.Prerequisites:
Rules of the class must be understood.Suggested Grade Level:
3-5Materials Needed:
Yellow tag (post-it-note works well), Laminated sneaker award sign for each class, Chart for the gym to keep track track, Golden Sneaker days equipment for free play
Description of Idea
At the beginning of each year, I laminate a Golden Sneaker sign
for each classroom. Students hang their earned class points
on this sign, count up the points, and they are
responsible
for bringing them to my class when they have earned enough
(50).
The Physical Education teacher awards 0-10
points per day to each class for their behavior and protocols during
his/her class. Classes take the yellow point tag to their homeroom
and post it on the sneaker sign. When a class has
earned 50 points, they earn Golden Sneaker Time
(10 minutes worth of free choice activity time in PE).
Phrases like
"You earned a point for walking quietly in line", "You put away your equipment without throwing it--2 points earned", etc.
are positive ways to reinforce the protocols/rules of your class.
Classes will quickly learn that there is a direct
relationship between number of points awarded each day and the
frequency of Golden Sneaker Time.
Bonus points: Classes earn 1 bonus point for having
everyone in their class wear sneakers.
