Best PE teacher I had actually made it a class where we had to learn the rules of the games and were given tests on them. Then we spent a couple weeks playing the games and she had the kids acting as referees enforcing the rules we learned. We played basketball, baseball, football, bowling. She taught us different dances like line dancing and square dancing. When it was winter and there was enough snow. We even learned cross country skiing.
Then I moved to a different school and my PE curriculum became "run a mile.’ I have exercised induced asthma. Running was a literal hell for me.

Do you ever let the kids play games with butt scooters like these? If not I would highly recommend adding them to your curriculum. Those things were the bomb

Also, it’s a rite of passage as a kid to accidentally run your fingers over with the scooter.

I never, ever did that… Smashing them between other kids scooters? Every damn time.

Good. Those things were torture devices. They weren’t even fun, the only way you could move quickly was backwards. So kids hitting heads, necks, backs, fingers, pinching/smashing hazard, then one wreck happens and since all the kids are going backwards at speed, there’s instantly a pileup of mangled kids. Those things were so dangerous and they sucked shit even if you didn’t consider the danger? Give me 20 kids with hockey sticks and a tennis ball ALL DAY.

These ones were much better. I still don’t understand the physics of how wiggling the handlebars back and forth made them go forward, but it felt like magic at the time. Much less finger pinching and no Charlie horsing your groin trying to crab walk with wheels under your butt like the other ones.
