Move and Freeze Overview. If you’re looking for a fun classroom game to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day then you came to the right spot! The Move and Freeze series is a fun freeze dance activity for kids. The game allows kids to be creative, get exercise, and most importantly have fun! I like using this St. Patrick’s Day game with my younger K-1 students, as it’s always fun to see what movements and dances they come up with.

Learning Through Sport

I often read that in the 1970's the idea of 'quality' teaching began to transition from teacher-directed, explained from a behavourist perspective as direct instruction for replication of the teachers knowledge or the knowledge provided by the teacher and the skills and abilities demonstrated by the teacher, to student centred. The 'problem' with the teacher-centred paradigm is often explained as students becoming passive recipients and regurgitators in the learning process.

All students are special in their own ways. Some have more difficulty listening and following directions while others may struggle to move their bodies the way they want to.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Imagine a new direction in physical education… Imagine having individual exercise data that was immediately sent to student records, the student, and the parents, each day from physical education classes.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Rather than give students all of the information about alcohol and drugs myself, in this activity, they are split into groups and tasked with researching and presenting on one of the topics. As the presentations happen, I am able to ask clarifying questions and fill in any holes. After each presentation, students chat with an elbow partner and decide on the 2-3 key points to remember.
