From Stranger Things To PE: Finding Your “Max” Song, Game, And Go-To Moves

Send a text

Welcome to the Upside Down,

Today we use a Stranger Things hook to build a practical “Max” list for PE: the song, games, instant activities, warmups, attention grabs, and unit we can repeat without losing joy or learning. The aim is alignment between what we love and what students actually want.

• defining a “Max” list that anchors planning
• Max game: Rollout for tight spaces

• Max instant activity: Tractor Buoy Sea Monster
• Rainy day Max activity: cup stacking for focus and flow
• Attention-grabbing Max system: Match Me and clap patterns
• Capstone Max unit: fifth-grade Tchoukball tournament

Take care,

Dave
