Underhand Toss & Climbing Wall Challenge!

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! Two teams compete to see which one can get all the objects tossed into the buckets in the least amount of time.  The last round we did a boys vs. girls challenge and it was an intense game!  Girls won!  :)
