These items are the bare essentials of any physical education class. Hundreds of activities can be created with these simple equipment. The cones and poly spots help organize the gymnasium so that the children can easily navigate through it. Also, it turns an ordinary gymnasium into its own world of adventures. The equipment are color coded so students can associate groups, teams, and tasks with a certain color. Young students need all the stimulation they can get from their environment in order to learn. For adults, it's easy to be able to stand in a certain place when told so without demonstration. But for young children it can be a challenging task. That black line you told them to stand on can be any of the 5 black lines in the gym. That's why they need place markers (cones, spots) that they can see in order to know where to go or be. The cone/spot in a way is speaking to them. It's telling them "hey, I'm the same color as the object you're holding, and this is where the teacher wants you to stand". These equipment are visual feedback for the children. As you can see my list does not include equipment that are specific to a certain sport. Each equipment have multiple purposes. They can be use for any activity. My list does not include many equipment, just the essentials. But this small list has a price tag that I as a teacher cannot afford without having to make the decision to choose between this or rent. Please help me build a solid foundation for the children's development with these simple but crucial equipment.
