Warming up & Stretching exercise task cards for PE and Sport
• 41 individual warming up & stretching printable task cards for elementary PE (+ videos)
This Warming up & Stretching task cards pack is a fantastic foundational resource to be equipped with, and contains a collection of high-quality task card files with exclusive video demonstrations. You'll be able to confidently and safely lead your class through various warm up and stretching exercises - the warm ups are used to begin your lessons, and stretching to finish...
1. 41 colourful, educational PE activity cards
› Simply print out (and laminate) the cards (A4 or A5), and pick & choose 3-4 different tasks to do each lesson. They can also be printed larger as sports hall posters, or used for reference straight from your iPad/tablet. Each card has uniquely drawn illustrations with clear teaching instructions.
You'll be prepped with:
• 25 warm up tasks - to start off your lessons and get your kids ready for sport.
There are 2 types of warm up tasks and can either be done as ‘reps’ (repetitions), or for about 30s each task:
1: On the spot › Perform the movements individually in your own space
2: End-to-end › Working from one side of the sports hall/field, going to the other side and then back.
• 16 stretching exercises - to use at the end of your sessions to improve flexibility, increase strength, and help to prevent injury to your muscles.
Stretches can be held for 10-15s and repeated 2-3 times.
2. Online video demonstration support
You'll be given access to instructional videos for each task (private YouTube videos, and links to my new APP). You can watch the videos with your students to help them see exactly how to perform the exercise safely and effectively, it's they're an incredibly helpful reference tool.
One idea is have a student pick and choose 2-3 warm ups and 2-3 stretches, have them watch the corresponding videos, and then teach and demonstrate them to the rest of the class.
