Movement Education Cards

We use these for Dance. Groups create a 8 or 16-count dance sequence to demonstrate the movement vocabulary word on the card and then present to a teacher to receive feedback and formative assessment.

LOG Game Creation Activity

Alberta Physical Education Program of Studies Links: A-10, A-11, C-4, D-2, D-7

During the game creation portion of this activity students are guided to games that will be successful through the use of guiding questions.  To help with student success the importance of simple equipment, set-up and game play rules is emphasized.   The equipment is defined and in the space for experimentation and creation to avoid using time to think of and collect equipment.

Fitness Testing Stations (To Learn and Experience the Components of Fitness)

Alberta Physical Education Program of Studies Links: B-3

These tests are done in a station approach so that students are not on display as they complete them.  There are multiple tests for each component of fitness to allow for student choice. It is stressed that the goal is the exploration of the components of fitness, personal improvement, and learning how to assess one's own fitness level (task-based) rather than focusing on the score (ego-based).  The fitness test results are NEVER used for assessment.
