1st Year Teacher Classroom...Help Us Get Physical!

Help me give my students options for physical activity for free time earned as a result of positive behavior choices. This is another great way to build community and togetherness in the classroom through sport.

My Project

At ages 10 and 11, we have a lot of bottled-up energy that needs to be expended from time to time. My students work hard and strive to make better behavior choices each day. With supplies like this in our classroom, we would be able to hold class reward incentives such as Kickball Fridays, Active Kid Events, Carnival Game Days, Team Building Activities and so much more! All of these encourage student physical wellness in combination with making positive choices in the classroom on a daily basis, all while building community inside classroom walls. Having oversized games to promote team building and community will prove to game playing to a more active level and get kids up a moving, having a kickball incentive has always worked to provide students with a goal for making better behavior choices in their community, carnival games such as ring toss, and football My students love nothing more than to be praised for positive choices and I love nothing more than to be able to do so, finding as many ways as I can to make it happen!
