Fortius PE’s 10 Top Tips – ‘Starting your PE Lessons on the Front Foot’
- Establish the RULES early – correct kit, hair tied back, jewellery removed
- PE kits stay in school all week – have some spare kit ready!
- Encourage quick changing – create a class competition against the clock ‘how quickly can they get changed’
- Use changing time to start the PE lesson with objectives on the board or a video
- Have the equipment ready at your PE area – can you use your TA or some of your pupils to do this
- The 7-10min warm up needs to raise the pupils HR and be lots of FUN
- Can you introduce some of the skills of the lesson in the warm up
- Try and keep the pupils active in their mind and body for as much of the lesson as possible – who is ‘doing the doing!’
- Add some competition to the lesson – pupil vs themselves (i.e. personal best) or pupils v pupils
- Have some PE ‘helpers’ who can pack equipment away for you at the end of the lesson
