Physical Education Tips of the Week #44
May 8, 2008
Well, it has been four days since I played in our annual old-man's basketball tournament. I still can't walk, but fortunately, I CAN type. So, get ready for the latest edition of PE Tips of the week.
This newsletter also provides free links to a web page that will provide your students with free bookmarks as an incentive for creative activities related to fitness. There's a link to the weekly blog, in which I discuss an alarming new activity called "The Choking Game," along with ways to identify students who may be participating. And finally, the Pick of the Week is a game for health class that will help students review the basic muscle groups.
