Here are a few websites you can look at if you would like to find some games for your PE class, or if you would like some cool team building activities for your team. These websites can also show you some of the key benefits of games and relays and team bonding exercises for the children.
This is a family fun website. It lists all the games that can be played at home, around family, and at school. This website shows some games that children can potentially play at home. They are still activity based games, however because they are safe to play around the house too, they implement self motivation. Which is one of the things we like to focus on in pe class, if we are able to teach the child to be able to motivate him or herself, then they will feel better about themselves because they will be confident enough to do activities on their own. In addition to this the website also suggests games that can be played in class too.
Live strong is a health and well-being company that’s been founded by Lance Armstrong. This particular page is more of an article. It gives some stats, and it states that 39% of children between the ages of 9 and 13 participate in organised sport. This site puts a strong emphasis on the benefits of team building activities. And that such activities intern benefit children on and off the fields. In addition to this it lists a few activities that a sports team can do to bond better as a team. However I believe some of these activities can be implemented in the classroom, not only to improve the relationships between the students in the class, but the students will be able to take many skills into the outside.
This website lists all the different PE is very similar to the first website. This website is specifically aimed for Physical education classes. It lists the less conventional games, they are games that somebody has created, and for instance there are games such as Qudditch. There is a small news segment on this website, where the author tries to implement new exercises and methods. It also suggests some other links that teachers can look at for more information.
If you' are the type of person who needs more information here are some books you might like to consider reading:
“Catch them being good”
It's about a journey of US Women's soccer Team who had a massive success in the past. Even though it’s a success story of a sporting team, the book mentions some games and relays that are more specific for team building. In addition to this some team building activities can definitely be beneficial in the class room, because team building activities and games have many components that children can take away into the real world too.
The "gourd game" look like fun.
