I knew this was going to be a game changer. Limited equipment or no equipment was going to be the main focus for my area. This meant I had to take my Scope &amp; Sequence for the year and turn it upside down. Our students were offered the choice to go virtual, which I already had several lessons made for At-Home P.E. when we went virtual in the Spring. This challenge was clear. How do you change a subject, in which you use equipment all the time?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Guidelines<\/h2>\n<p>Many guidelines came out over the summer of what could be done and what couldn&#8217;t be done, so I started with that.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Group play activities turned into individual activities<\/li>\n<li>Limited or no equipment for use showed many different ways of creating lessons<\/li>\n<li>Students being outside widens the box just a little bit for more for the lessons<\/li>\n<li>Sanitizing equipment after use and hands before and after the activity<\/li>\n<li>Making sure students were socially distanced during activities<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the mask rule. Making sure students were protected with their masks and getting used to having them on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I started by putting floor decals (I used 7&#215;7 paw prints) down on my floor. You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/spectrum-spot-markers-5-circles-W10937\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>spot markers<\/strong><\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/floor-marking-tape-2-W4540\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>floor tape\/floor liquid markers<\/strong><\/a>. This way we could use the projector for more things. We always used the projector in previous years, and I felt it was going to be used more this year. I made my lesson visuals for everyone to see, since it helped a lot for teachers back in the spring. Detailed equipment, setup, activity, enrichment\/modifications, and even standards connected to the lesson. The visual box provided a nice picture of the lesson.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Shoe Streams<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first activity we did was called Shoe Streams. A huge hit for the PE Community! The only equipment students were using was their own shoes! Students had to make it down the floor and back without touching the floor, but had to be on top of their shoes the whole time. Students using their own shoes and not touching anything else turned out to be a great idea. Almost 10,000 views on social media with comments left and right, so I knew I had to keep creating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/coach-and-instructor-resources\/timers-and-stopwatches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Timer<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/coach-and-instructor-resources\/flags-cones-and-spot-markers\/cones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cones<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Shoes \ud83d\udc5f<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoe-streams.jpg\" alt=\"pe social distance game\" width=\"618\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoe-streams.jpg 618w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoe-streams-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoe-streams-220x285.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27085\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shoe-Streams.png\" alt=\"PE game\" width=\"567\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shoe-Streams.png 567w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shoe-Streams-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shoe-Streams-220x99.png 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shoe-Streams-500x225.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dot to Dot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I submitted an activity called Dot to Dot for a new magazine coming out for games using little or no equipment. Yes, the old Connect-the-Dot worksheet we all used to do, but I added just a little bit of equipment for this one. Again, people loved this one! I received many videos and pictures of teachers having their students playing this. I even received one from a teacher I followed years ago, when I first started Twitter, and that was huge in my book! My students play his activities all the time, and now him having his students play mine, just amazing. The only difference with this one was using jump ropes for each student. No sharing or changing colors was allowed and the sanitizing after took awhile, but students were excited to get back to normal for a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/jump-ropes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Jump ropes<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/coach-and-instructor-resources\/flags-cones-and-spot-markers\/spot-markers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Poly spots<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dot-to-dot.jpg\" alt=\"activities for PE\" width=\"618\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dot-to-dot.jpg 618w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dot-to-dot-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dot-to-dot-220x285.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dot-to-Dot.png\" alt=\"PE activities social distance\" width=\"564\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dot-to-Dot.png 564w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dot-to-Dot-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dot-to-Dot-220x99.png 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dot-to-Dot-500x224.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>FootLoose<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One thing that crossed my mind, and I had never done it before was &#8211; what if we go Live? Have people watch what is going on in P.E. at this very moment. We played a game called FootLoose. Again, only using their shoes and a hula hoop. Students were seeing if they could flip their shoe off of their foot into the hoop. A word that was thrown to me was brilliant! You could do this outside and inside with students. We had almost 2,000 views and I was thanked for going outside the box and trying something different. I had to play with them because it was neat hearing how excited they were for a game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/hoops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Hula Hoops<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/coach-and-instructor-resources\/flags-cones-and-spot-markers\/cones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cones<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Shoes \ud83d\udc5f<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/footloose.jpg\" alt=\"footloose PE game\" width=\"618\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/footloose.jpg 618w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/footloose-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/footloose-220x285.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/FootLoose.png\" alt=\"PE game footloose\" width=\"561\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/FootLoose.png 561w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/FootLoose-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/FootLoose-220x180.png 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/FootLoose-366x300.png 366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Centipede<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An activity that I had done with Pre-K students for a quick warm-up last year was called The Centipede. Noodles laid out on the ground for students to jump over. While they&#8217;re moving, the line looks like a giant centipede. It got a lot of positives last year and since it required no students touching equipment, it was great for the current times. I stayed off social media for a couple of hours to go get a picture with my daughter for her cheerleading squad. When I logged back in, after less than 21 hours of this video being up, it took off! We&#8217;ve had over 12,600 views for the video and almost 700 likes. This one was popular since no equipment was being touched by students, and teachers could modify it to their needs for class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/aqua-noodles-W7561\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Noodles<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/coach-and-instructor-resources\/flags-cones-and-spot-markers\/cones\/\">Cones<\/a> (2)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-centipede.jpg\" alt=\"PE activities social distancing\" width=\"618\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-centipede.jpg 618w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-centipede-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-centipede-220x285.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Centipede.jpg\" alt=\"PE social distance\" width=\"564\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Centipede.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Centipede-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Centipede-220x99.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Centipede-500x226.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&#8220;Toe&#8221;pedoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This activity is called &#8216;Toe&#8217;pedoes. Students flipping their shoe in the air, and trying to catch it before it landed. We decided to take this one outside. The students loved doing a Live broadcast, but we had some connection problems outside. So instead of telling them it wasn&#8217;t going to be Live, we pretended it was. This turned out to be great for everyone. All types of problems can occur when going Live, but you have to learn how to move on and continue. We plan on doing more Live shows for the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/sports-and-pe\/coach-and-instructor-resources\/flags-cones-and-spot-markers\/cones\/\">Cones<\/a> (4)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Shoes \ud83d\udc5f<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/toepedoes_orig.jpg\" alt=\"social distance PE\" width=\"618\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/toepedoes_orig.jpg 618w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/toepedoes_orig-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/toepedoes_orig-220x285.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Toepedoes.png\" alt=\"social distance activities\" width=\"545\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Toepedoes.png 545w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Toepedoes-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Toepedoes-220x103.png 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Toepedoes-500x234.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Blast Off<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The activity we recently played was called Blast Off!
