Course Description:

Whether you are a new PE teacher looking to wow your students (as well as your admin), or an experienced PE teacher looking to expand your current curriculum, this course has something for you! I have been teaching PE for over a decade, both internationally and in the US and I love to engage my students in games they have never seen or heard of before. This brings my PE curriculum, and my student’s learning and excitement, to the next level! I want to share five international games with you so you can share them with your students. I will discuss background information about these games to help you introduce them to your students. I will also explain, in detail, my own specifically-modified “PE-Friendly” versions of these games. These “PE Friendly” versions are easier to teach and learn, faster to begin game play, and will get kids moving and learning. This course will focus on the following 5 games: Bocce, Cricket, Sepak Takraw, Netball, and Aussie Rules Football.

This course addresses the following standards:
