A game for the youngins

It'a important for the children's phys-Ed classes to not only be about bein active and physical but also for concepts that open their mind and get them learning other things as well. The game I have come up with with it's variations will increase the students ability to think on the move, with partners or without. The materials needed would be foam animals with removable letters an also foam numbers. What I would have the students do at first would be to simply find the numbers I tell them to. Thy of course would be using locomotor skills to move aroun while looking for these numbers. Then I would have the students do some simple math while looking for the answers in the foam numbers. With the animal/letter foam pieces, I would expect the students to work in groups to formulate words and eventually short sentences together in groups. This can be words they are learning in class an/or simple words that I feel are important to be learning. All in all, the students will not only be learning their physical, psychomotor skills in my phys-Ed classes but also will be learning cognitively every day!
