Underhand Toss & Climbing Wall Challenge!

Image
Recently in PE we have been working on the underhand toss in grades K, 1, and 2.  There are 3 steps to remember when underhand tossing: Tick - Step - Toss.  Students practiced underhand tossing to various targets and tossed different objects with a partner. Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 have been practicing their climbing wall skills.  The students LOVE the Team Toss Challenge activity!

Angry Birds Another fan favorite is Angry Birds.  Students are divided into 2 teams.  Each team throws "angry birds" at the other teams' pig pens.  Guards block angry birds from knocking down the pig pens.
