Physical Education Lesson Plans

This page is meant to provide physical education teachers with useful links to find quality lesson plans. The sites listed were all found by searching google and yahoo and are listed in order of usefulness. I hope that P.E. teachers find these links to be helpful.

PE Central- This site is very organized and provides hundreds of great quality PE lesson plans as well as many other links to useful sites. There is an option to search the site to find a specific lesson plan. However, finding the right lesson plan is easy considering they are all categorized by age level and they type of activity (health, dance, cooperation, holiday, assessment, etc.). www.pecentral.org/lessonideas/pelessonplans.html

Lesson Plans Page- This site is useful, organized and provides great quality lesson plans for the PE teacher. The lesson plans are first separated by grade level and then categorized by the type of activity (games and relay, health and fitness, sports, etc.). An added benefit of this site is the availability of lessons, which incorporate other subjects like art, music, language arts, and science. www.lessonplanspage.com/PE.htm

The lesson plans are easy to find because they are organized by games, exercise/movement, and team sports.
