This is collection of very creative and imaginative activities for teaching health and PE provided by wonderful teachers at a 2006 Washington State Health and PE assessment conference.
Format for submission: Time, Preparation, Procedure.
Example:
Time: 5-15 minutes
Preparation: A collection of balls or objects that can easily be caught and written on. Have 2 less balls than there are students.
Procedure: Circle your students up in a space where they can easily throw balls back and forth. You start by throwing a ball to a student across the room (not next to you). That student catches the ball and then throws it until all students have had a chance to catch the ball. The ball is then thrown back to you and that same pattern of throwing the ball is continued with your students receiving the ball from the same person and throwing it to the same person. Introduce more balls or other objects until the room is filled with flying objects circulating in the pattern created earlier. After awhile you can reverse it.
Variation: Write health or fitness terms on the balls. Before the ball is thrown, the student reads what is written on the ball and shouts what it says and tosses it to the person he/she is suppose to throw the ball to. Collect the balls and see if students can remember all the things written on the balls. It’s a great way to get your students hearing, seeing, saying, and doing the content.

Components of Fitness Steal
Purpose: To get a cardiovascular work out, initiate team work, motor skills, and to become familiar with the terms associated with fitness
Equipment: a bucket w/ muscular endurance written on it, a bucket w/ cardiovascular endurance written on it, a bucket w/ muscular strength written on it, a bucket w/ flexibility written on it; a poster board with color coded components of fitness listed on it (see below), 10 red bean bags, 10 blue bean bags, 10 purple bean bags, 10 green bean bags; cones to divide the team’s sides. Pinnies/jerseys for one of the teams (pinnies vs. non-pinnies).
Description: One team starts with all the green and blue bean bags spread out on their side of the play area, and two of the labeled buckets at the back of their side. The other team has the red and purple bean bags spread out on their side of the play area, and the other two labeled buckets at the back of their side. The object of the game is to go over to the other team’s side and try and take their bean bags and put the bean bags in the buckets on your side. You must put correct color bean bags in the properly labeled bucket (from the sign) for it to count, (example: red bean bags = muscular endurance, so there should only be red bean bags in the muscular endurance bucket). When the other team comes on your side you may try to stop them from taking your bean bags by tagging them. If you are tagged, you have to go to the teacher and tell her/him an exercise or activity that goes with one of the fitness components (example= running for 20 minutes or more would be cardiovascular endurance). The teacher tells them, “correct or incorrect” and then gives them a body reward to do that matches the example the student gave the teacher. For instance, jog ten steps in place could go with the cardio example the student gave. When the student completes the prescribed exercise they may join their team again and continue playing. When one team gets all the beanbags (or a set time limit), switch sides of the court; so they get exposed to the other terms the next round.
The Sign (the words on the sign should be the bean bag color, for the readers that have trouble):
Cardiovascular Endurance = blue bean bags
Muscular Strength = purple bean bags
Muscular Endurance = red bean bags
Flexibility = green bean bags
