Maximize Engagement Anywhere: Inclusive PE Activities for Every Grade and Space

Every physical education setting has its challenges: limited space, minimal equipment, and students with diverse abilities. These challenges do not have to limit engagement. In this fast-paced, hands-on session, you will actively participate in 10 inclusive activities that can be taught anywhere: gym, classroom, blacktop, or field. Each is designed to promote physical literacy, meet SHAPE America's National Physical Education Standards, and connect directly to grade-span learning indicators. You will practice revising activities to fit your space, adapt them to engage all learners, and keep every student moving no matter the constraints. Collaborate with fellow educators to brainstorm variations for your own setting, then leave with a toolkit of ready-to-use activities that break down barriers, maximize active time, and boost student engagement. Whether you teach elementary or high school, these strategies will make your lessons more inclusive, efficient, and impactful starting the very next day.
