Classroom Lessons in PE Class

It is very important to incorporate the lessons that children are learning in the regular classroom into the PE class. There are many benefits to this. If a child is having a hard time comprehending a lesson, incorporating a movement activity will present it in a different format. Sometimes visual learners will understand the information better this way, as opposed to reading it from a book. It is a good way to review and reinforce what has been taught by the classroom teacher.
Incorporating classroom lessons also creates good relationships with other teachers. It shows them that the PE teachers also care about academics and not just physical activity.

Example Lesson: Geography-Learning about the United States
Children can use their bodies to form the shapes of different states, as well as forming letters to spell the name of the state.
