Team sports encourage friendly competition and help students cooperate and work together toward a common goal. Students can learn how to positively communicate with each other in a social setting while also running, jumping, and playing. Activities such as hockey, soccer, flag football, softball, and basketball are very popular in PE classes. You can spend a few weeks on each sport, or pick just 2-3 to focus on during the year. Individual activities that don't require a team, such as yoga, weight training, golf, frisbee, and aerobics, tend to stick with children into their adult lives. This is a great time to teach them the basics in a safe and supportive environment, to foster enjoyment of these activities that will last a lifetime. In large classes, breaking into multiple groups of five or six students to learn the fundamental skills of a sport or activity will help improve physical skills, social skills, and teamwork. You can have each group doing a specific activity at a station, and have them rotate every 10 minutes or longer. This provides variety and will help to keep students engaged. A well-designed curriculum will have activities that accommodate all student needs. You can include activities that are inclusive to students with different needs while still challenging more athletically-inclined students. For example, an activity such as yoga increases mobility, hand-eye coordination, and flexibility, but can be adjusted to be more or less challenging for individual student needs.

Summary:
Allow children to participate in team sports. Incorporate individual activities into the curriculum. Set up stations for small groups. Plan inclusive activities for all students.
