- Manipulative skills: tossing, throwing, striking, kicking, putting, and jumping rope
- Cooperation: partner and small-group stations like Parachute Pumpkin Float and Ride the Broom Stick
- Fitness: steady movement through every rotation
Equipment
Most stations use common PE equipment such as scooters, cones, hoops, balls, mats, jump ropes, and a parachute. A few use simple household items like shoeboxes, balloons, and laundry baskets. Every station can be adjusted to fit the equipment and space you have.
How to Use It
Set up 5–10 stations at a time and rotate groups every 3–5 minutes. With 20 stations, you can swap in a new set and keep the activity going over several class periods. Classroom teachers can use just a few stations as Halloween brain breaks.
Designed for grades K–5 and aligned with SHAPE America national standards.
Created by Cap’n Pete, a physical educator with more than 30 years of teaching experience.
