Integrating the Craft of Writing into Physical Education

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Incorporate writing into your physical education class. In groups, learners unscramble a list of words related to exercise and use them in their journal writings. Using their name, they write one word related to physical activity that begins with each letter of their name. To end the lesson, they are given the setting, theme or characters of a story and identify the novel while jumping through a hula hoop.
