This past week we started playing our Fall themed games during PE. These are simple games that the kids do every year in October and never seem to tire of playing. Two school wide favorites are Ghosts in the Grave Yard and Bug Hunt. Both games are relays with slightly different objectives. In Ghosts in the Grave Yard students are looking for white plastic bags with funny faces on them hidden under cones. During Bug Hunt, the students are looking for assorted plastic creepy crawlies. Older kids try and find bugs that match their team’s mascot while the younger kids are just trying to find a bug. Other games we will play during October include a skeleton relay, an invasion game called Monster Mash, and a throwing game called Five Little Pumpkins that goes along with the poem Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Fence.
We will also spend a few minutes at the beginning of class one day watching a BrainPop about bones and our skeleton.
