I teach at Bethune Middle School in Decatur, GA. We have seven physical educators and well over 1400 students that we serve each day. I am looking for some ideas to help the transition from the locker room to the gymnasium go more smoothly and our dismissal procedures.

We use our basketball clock as a timer. Students have eight minutes from the time they leave their homeroom to their roll call spot. That includes dressing out time.

The best and fastest ways I had for getting the kids out of the locker room was to pipe in very peppy music. I used unfamiliar electronic music the first time and it was a riot. The girls were out so fast, they didn't realize what hit them. The rhythm had unconsciously picked up their personal beat.
The other non-fail method works especially well for boys - girls too once they get involved. Leave equipment out and available so the kids can use it as soon as they are dressed. You will find all but a few kids get out right away when they realize they can play or practice.
Enjoy - They will!

We curretnly teach both health and P.E. our class sizes range from 29 to 35 students. Our school is now proposing that we teach health in our weightroom. This is an unrealistic option for teaching health. Our weightroom is small, poorly lit, no storgage, no desks. Basically our administration has said deal with it. Any suggestions on how to fight this?

This is my first year in a K-8th grade school. The gymnasium is small even by elementary standards, i.e., only 2 basketball hoops, gym walls 2 feet from basketball court lines, auditorium stage 2 feet from court lines, etc. With 35-40 7th or 8th graders the gym seems to shink even smaller. Any suggestions for safely revising the middle school curriculum to fit a tiny elementary gym setting? My classes are back to back so leaving the building is not an option.
Are there any specific K-8th curriculums for small gyms? Any suggestions or ideas welcomed. |

Before my current assignment we had some difficulty with transitioning. Two things worked for us. If a particular class was rowdy we had them line up in the gym before entering. Also in the locker room we set up chairs against the straight wall and when they were done dressing they had to sit in their chairs. The situation was a bit smaller than your school 4 teachers for about 600 students. |

Does anyone have information, websites or curriculum on Multicultural Games? I am looking for information in a ready to use format on how games have influenced culture and culture has influenced games for a 30 minute presentation to a group of 100 students. Anything would be helpful!!! Thanks. |
