HeadsUpHPE Gametime

In this episode I share with you a fantastic way to introduce student to Target Games - through Dude Perfect, All-Sports Golf. To run this within a lesson, I generally watch a 3 - 5 minute segment of a 'Dude Perfect, All-Sports Golf Episode' so that the student understand the task - and then away we go. Students have the opportunity to participate in a fun, Target based game, and use a variety of Fundamental Movement Skills to do so. Meanwhile, it serves as a fantastic opportunity for the teacher to watch specific FMS of the students, or to move from group to group and offer feedback, or to build connections. As mentioned in the episode, thank you for following along throughout the year. Here is a Christmas-themed games booklet that has a number of games that I am sure your students will love!
