OPEN Physical Education is one of my favorite websites because it offers great lesson plans and other resources to get kids excited about more than the traditional gym class activities of years gone by. OPEN Phys Ed places an emphasis on providing all students with ways to feel engaged and empowered in physical education classes.
OPEN Phys Ed recently released a new unit of lesson plans and activities for middle and high school classes. The new unit is called Tools for teaching adventure.
Tools for teaching adventure contains a dozen detailed lesson plans for activities to teach the adventure of learning five core values. Those values are:
- be open minded
- Being responsible
- be respectful
- be engaged
- be sure
Like almost all OPEN Phys Ed activities, the lessons and activities in the Tools for teaching adventure unit can be made without any special equipment and are accompanied by suggestions for modification. The lesson plans are available for registered OPEN Phys Ed users to download for free. Membership is free.
