Crossing the midline is such an important skill for children to master. It not only impacts their movement but also their handwriting and planning skills.

This lesson plan includes three stations, as well as warm-up and cool-down activities. Each station practices similar skills in different ways. Each station has a description and small diagrams for the setup of the station.

Warm-up: Traffic light game used to encourage students to move around.

Station one: encourages working in pairs and taking turns as well as crossing the midline.

Station two: students practice planning skills and depth perception as they jump through a ladder on the ground

Station three: uses a beanbag to practice crossing the midline

Cool-down: incorporates Mathematics through stretching like a shape

The lesson plan includes a rubric for assessment. There is also a printer-friendly assessment sheet that can be used to record the assessment.

36 PE Fitness Circuit station cards for elementary and middle school sport activities

The Fitness Circuit Card Pack is a must-have for your school sports lessons. Suitable for kindergarten–grade 8, these exercise cards cover the six components of fitness necessary to keep your students healthy and active: Core, flexibility & balance, stamina, leg strength, arm strength, and whole body exercise

1. 36 energetic station cards
› Simply print out (and laminate) the cards (A4 or A5), choose the circuit activities, and put them out around the sports hall. Minimal equipment is required (at most a few balls, a hoop, and a bench), so the setup of your lesson is so simple!

› Divide the class equally at the stations and have them work for 45–60 seconds (you can play some loud, energizing music!). Blow your whistle, and the students can then record their personal scores before rotating around to the next station (30-second rest period). Depending on your planned time for the lesson, students can go around the circuit twice or even 3 times.

Exercises: • ball twists • bicycles • crunches • side scissors • toe reaches • wind-wipers • crab kicks • hand walks • ski hops • star stretches • superman • 1-foot reaches • mountain climbs • plank • side plank • skipping • sprinting • wall sit • box jumps • frog jumps • hoop jumps • pistol squats • side lunges • surf switches • arm circles • bench dips • bunny hops • push ups • punches • wall push offs • airplane lunges • burpees • jumping jacks • knee ups • sumo kicks • squat & push

2. Online video demonstration support

You’ll be given access to an instructional video for each activity (private YouTube videos). Play the video stations you’ll be doing for that session, so they’ll be prepared and know what to do when they get going around the circuits in the hall.

3. Fitness testing sheets

You can print out the circuit scoring sheets for students to individually record their results and points at each activity. They can then track and compare their results from term to term and see how they have improved.

Bonus posters
As extra content, I’ve put together six high-quality posters, 1 for each fitness component, showing the activities. These can be printed A4 or even A3 for you to put up around your classroom or gym area.
I know you’ll love these circuit station task cards. If you are a teacher at elementary, middle, or even high school, you need these task cards to help keep your students healthy and active, and they’re great anytime of the year.

Use these colourful flash cards or posters to do gross-motor skills and development.

This is a great to have resource for your classroom when there is inclement  weather and your students need to stay inside. It is also a great reward for students who finish early, or even daily dpa (daily physical activities). This is a no prep, print and play board game.

This board game is based on exercise. Great for 2+ students, or even your whole class (print out more). Works well in a gym/physical education setting. Players start at the start field. They take turns throwing the dice and moving their figures around the track and when they land on the field with the medal they take an activity card and do what is asked from them. When they finish the exercise they are awarded a medal. The game lasts until a player gets a certain number of medals (I suggest 5).

This resource includes: rules page, printable dice, game board, 18 different fit cards, a set of 9 cards where you can add your own activities and medals to give the students for an activity completed. The figures to move around the board includes 2 sets, emoji & blocks. Recommended to laminate after printing.

This resource comes in a printable PDF as well as an editable Google Slide. You can print it out right from the PDF and your students can start playing today, or make changes before you print. The choice is yours!
