my p.e. pack by gopherOnce again, Gopher has created a product to help with the ever changing world when it comes to Physical Education. Here is the description from the Gopher website:
My PE Packs were designed to promote physical activity and safety by providing every student their own equipment. Each My PE Pack can be used in any setting and by students of all ages and abilities. My PE Packs include access to FREE, easy-to-implement activities that stress physical distancing while avoiding the need to share equipment. My PE Packs are a safe, effective solution that address the challenges of equipment sanitation, physical distancing, and multiple learning environments! |

puckleboardI first learned about Puckleboard from one of the creators of the game. After meeting in person and trying out the game, I was convinced it was something I'd like to review. Why? Because it's fun!!! Not only fun, but it's a unique game that uses a variety of skills that could transfer to the Physical Education setting. First off, I love the fact that it's a target game. Not only that, but there are a variety of ways to play the game, making it a versatile piece of equipment. Watch the video below to learn how to play...

gopher home peI love GOPHER. In being forward thinking in view of the current situation where schools are doing remote learning, GOPHER has come up with a great option for students at home...HOME PE.
These packs are designed for parents to keep kids active at home during this remote learning period. Home PE is a great way to get kids active at home while while schools are closed and many after school activities and summer camps are cancelled. All of the activities (200+) are written by expert PE teachers (Dr. Pangrazi, Aaron Beighle, Maria Corte, Chris Nichols, Jessica Shawley) and includes individual, partner and family activities. Packs include a wide variety of PE equipment that provide unique challenges to kids each week. After receiving 3 of the 6 weeks and taking a look at them, I have to say I'm EXTREMELY IMPRESSED. Not only is the equipment high quality (something I've come to expect from GOPHER), but the subscriptions are VERY AFFORDABLE. For the basic subscription it's $170. For the Deluxe subscription it's $250. Both come with FREE SHIPPING. Also, with GOPHER you have the ability to earn $10 for every subscription pack purchased. Win/Win. |

flip challengeI stumbled across this game while searching on Amazon. I immediately thought of those days where you get removed from your teaching space and have to either be in the classroom or cafeteria (with all the tables still set up). Watch the video below. Great fun and challenging at the same time.

qb54In my endless quest for new and innovative products, I am constantly searching for those items that are both fun to play, as well as have multiple uses. QB54 fits the bill on both accounts. That being said, I'm not 100% sure how to describe the product. It's a throwing and catching game. It's a kicking game. It's a cooperative game. It's a tag game. It's all of those at the same time!!! Watch the video, then keep reading below for some more info...

knock 'emI first learned of this game on Twitter. My first impression where I received it was "Wow, this is REALLY well made!!!" Super durable towers with equally durable balls and a heavy duty carrying bag. Created by a 14 year old! Click on the video below to see some game options. I know that as soon as some read this review, they will think of other creative ways to use Knock 'Em. If you do, let me know!

air squaresHow Air Squares is played…
If the ball comes into your square, you must return the ball up through your square and into an opponent’s square or you’re out! The goal of the game is get to King/Queen square and stay there! To begin 4 Air Squares, pick one corner to be the King/Queen square. For 9 Air Squares, the King/Queen square is the middle square. The player here serves to begin play by serving to any square. When a player is out, every other player moves up one square closer (rotating counterclockwise) to the King/Queen square. The player who is out goes back to the entry square, or to the back of the queue waiting to enter the game. I was fortunate enough to meet the creator of Air Squares at the PE Institute 2019. Greg Griffin and his son Corey were there and set up a set for all to try out and play. Here is a video from that conference... |
