7:31 Arovista Caine's Arcade 2019

This year students participated in a two day PE lesson just before Spring Break. We call this our Caine’s Arcade lesson and we have been doing it for four years now. It has become a favorite of the students. The first day of the lesson we take them inside and show them two videos. On day 2 of this activity we empty the shed so that students have all of our equipment to build and create games in small groups. This activity lasts the entire PE class, and about halfway through class we allow them to go around and play each others games (some groups come up with names for their games). They really enjoy getting to share their creation with others. During class, the blacktop and grass areas turn into one big PE carnival for students to create and play. The cooperation and ingenuity they show during this activity is remarkable. Each year we see new ideas being used to create some really awesome games. The brainstorming and formulation of a plan in small groups is another huge aspect of this lesson that should not go unnoticed. The students did a really good job overall this year of cooperating and communicating effectively.
