Students in Elementary Schools love to share their talents and to basically ‘show off’. Teachers have found a multitude of ways to let them share their talents and knowledge through Science Fairs, History Days, Plays, Musicals, Programs, Spelling Bees and many other things, but rarely have they done anything with PE Skills other than to play sports.
Science teachers use Science Fairs to display science skills and knowledge. History and Social Studies teachers developed History Days so that students could display their knowledge and skills in the history area. Music teachers put on musicals and drama teachers us plays to show those skills. Elementary teachers use a variety of all the above.
For thirty seven years I have3 seen students perform in musical programs and plays. I have written most of the ones that my students participated in. They are always fun because students like to show off.
After retiring I had a Physical Education teacher come to me and ask if I could write a program to showcase the skills she teaches in Physical Education classes. What an interesting idea.
