We have to start teaching health in our P.E. classes this year. I only see a class one day a week and don't want to do a sit down health lesson. Any ideas on how to teach health and keep students moving? |

I think that if you start slowly and introduce basic concepts to the kids, it might make a greater impact. Also designing physical games/activities that incorporate the concepts is a way for your children to remain active, hitting two birds with one stone. Finally, how about introducing concepts as part of lesson closures? Try to tie in the concepts some way to what you taught within the lesson (i.e.-nutrition, hygiene, risk factors for disease...). |

I agree, you can introduce concepts in the anticipatory set and in closure to help inform students of health benefits and concepts. There are books that have lessons based on Health Related fitness concepts with lesson in them and questions and strategies of how to incorporate the health related concepts within the lesson itslef while using most of the time being active. The books are called Physical Best Activity Guides. There are two of them, one for elementary levels, and the other for middle school and high school levels. You can check these books out at
