Links to Lesson Plans for Health and Physical Education

 

This is my list of sites for links to lesson plans for Health and Physical Education classes.  As a teacher, it is helpful to gain and share ideas with other teachers who have found what works, and what doesn’t.  Hopefully these links can help to give ideas to enhance your Health and P.E. classes.

LessonPlanz for PE – This site gives good lesson plan ideas in PE for all grades.  I particularly like the football fantasy idea for older students.  This is a way to incorporate a cross-curriculum idea into PE with having to keep track of statistics.  Date visited 10/28/05.

Discoveryschool – This page contains lesson plans for health classes for grades 6-12.  I like this list of lesson plans a lot because at the end of each one, it gives ideas to adapt the plan for older or younger grades.  These lesson plans are also very thorough and give ideas to include technology use in the classroom.  Date visited – 10/27/05.

Glencoe – This site provides excellent ideas for block scheduling.  This is how many teachers are required to write their unit planning.  I love these ideas because the lessons are categorized into three sections of concentration: reading skills, cross-curriculum and media literacy.  It gives great ideas to incorporate reading into the P.E. curriculum.  These lesson plans should be used with older grade levels.  Date visited – 10/28/05.

Lesson Planet – This site requires you to pay a small fee to access the lesson plans.  However, there are over 5,000 lesson plans in health alone.  I have not yet become a member of this site, but will consider it in the future.  Date visited – 10/28/05.
