Themes include: ASAP (Activity as Soon as Possible), PACE (Physical Activity Choices to Enjoy) and HOME Plays (promoting activity away from class) -- all guaranteed to provide at least 3 new ideas! The second 60 minute presentation will describe a variety of innovative techniques for the elementary physical education teacher to achieve more physical activity time during the regular school day without causing a disruption to the curriculum schedule.
