Scooter Games for Elementary Physical Education

Carly's P.E. Games

Today I am sharing some fun and easy scooter activities for your PE classes. The first thing to mention is that sometimes I allow "Turbo Speed" and sometimes I do not.

These are students who went through our Physical Education (PE) system and the cue/rule they used was a direct observable expectation of a pass which they conveyed without modification to their peers.
