\"PE<\/p>\n

I have been teaching for 11 years now, and trying to create new things can be a difficut thing to do sometimes. I usually like to add new material into my curriculum around the beginning of the year.\u00a0 A lot of new teachers like to see what you can do with just simple pieces of equipment. We were using hula hoops and gator skin balls one day for an activity, and I wondered if I could make another activity for these items. I had pool noodles set aside for the next day’s activity, and then it hit me – what about billiards? I wanted to make this activity have a good duration, where students weren’t bored in five minutes, but also make it a competition. I decided to call the activity Corner Pocket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I used this PE activity for grades PreK – 2nd but it can be modified and used for all ages – elementary physed, middle and high school. It is great for students to practice their striking skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
