Fun Stuff for Physical Education #119
March 31, 2011
1. Editor's Note
Wow - what a great vacation. My wife and I loved Barbados. We've been to a number of locations in the Caribbean and Mexico, but this was our favorite so far. And we had some interesting sporting experiences: we took surfing lessons, swam with sea turtles, snorkeled, and went to a cricket match with some new British friends who were cricket fans and explained the sport to us. And, for those cricket fans out there, Sir Garfield Sobers was in the stadium suite with us. He's one of the all-time cricket greats (there's a statue of him outside the stadium).
But, back to the old grind. Here are the articles that have been added to the website in the past two weeks. They include lots of free content, as does the rest of the PE update website.
Of course, those of you who are PE Update.com members have access to 1800 additional articles in our archives! To join PE Update.com, Click Here!

A fun way to play softball with a smaller than regulation number of players. A good physical education leadup game for baseball.
You can "waterski" in your gym using a rope, a towel and a partner.
Teach students to throw a frisbee by having them snap towels at a wall.
Pushups using a medicine ball that develop explosiveness, coordination and proprioception.
A volleyball lead-up game in which players attempt to serve the ball between defenders whose movement is confined to hula hoops. Good for physical education classes or varsity practice.
Our latest blog discusses the fact that many team nicknames lack the intimidation factor. The Banana Slugs are a great example.
