Trying to teach P.E. effectively with little (or no) equipment and while also trying to maintain social distancing is really tricky. Below are some helpful videos with ideas and things I’ve been using with my class and are working well. I think most of the ideas below can be easily adapted at all class levels.
Games
Races
My class have enjoyed a variety of races. These can be done by pod or you can just space out the children (especially if you are outside)
Running
Walking
Skipping
Backwards running/skipping/walking
Hop on one foot
Jumping
Bear crawl (inside will probably work best)
Bum crawl (inside will probably work best)
HIIT
This has worked well in senior classes in my school this week. Basically there’s a 30-45 second timer and the children change exercise every time. (Can be 30 seconds work, 15 seconds break etc.)
It gives the kids a really good workout and is enjoyable especially in 5th/6th. Children could make a list of possible exercises beforehand or you can chose from the list below.
High knees
Bum kicks
Knee to elbow
Jumping jacks
Squats
Burpees
Lunges
Plank
Sit ups
Push ups
Heel touch
Glute bridge
Bicycle crunch
Boxing
Flutter kicks
Running on the spot
Scissor hops
Plank jump ins
Grapevine
Heel toe
