As a way to encourage students for Presidential Fitness Testing, I gave the lower grades PE HOMEWORK. I encouraged them to get up to 30 minutes of activity a day and to play outside doing something that would qualify as PE homework. We brainstormed all the things that would qualify. I then encouraged them to eat their fruits and vegetables for PE Homework as well. I got wonderful feedback from the parents in the weeks to come yet my favorite was from a second grader who said, "Coach, I did my PE homework. I ordered green beans instead of fries."
