The session will start with individual racket skills, then move to serves with a partner. Participants will be able to begin earning cards by completing challenges. The activities will then move to the net for practicing dinks (no volley in the kitchen), and small rallies. The culminating activity will be a new game called “Cinco”. This is an UNO inspired fame, which switches up the game play based upon the card drawn. We are really excited for one special card, and hope it gets drawn so all participants can celebrate with a Kentucky derby inspired Victory Lap. Show up and join in the fun!

Physical education can be a powerful vehicle for interdisciplinary learning. This session presents a comprehensive approach to integrating PE with academic content areas, fostering a cohesive and engaging learning environment that supports the whole child. By reframing traditional perspectives, we demonstrate how movement-based activities can seamlessly align with math, literacy, science, and social studies, enriching both physical and cognitive development.

In this session participants will learn several innovative non-traditional, small-sided games, skill development activities and strategies that helps students develop problem solving skills and promote teamwork. While at the same time maximizing participation, movement, and success for all students. All activities are standards based and designed to be used or modified for grades K-12. This high-energy session is sure to get you and your students quickly moving with a purpose! Teamwork makes the dreamwork and students need to collaborate and work together every day. Let's give them more opportunities.

Discover the powerful science that connects the brain, body, and behavior in this interactive session featuring ETR’s B3: Brain, Body, Behavior program.

My goal is to always keep students active. So, I came up with games/activities to do just that in a classroom setting! I will have 2 different set-ups to show you, one for K-1st/2nd and one for 1st/2nd-6th grades. K-1st/2nd will be set-up for whole group situations. Set-ups will be presented for knowing in advance that you lost your gym and spur of the moment losing your gym. Hope to see you in this session!
