Physically Distanced Cones

My Students

Physical Education is important to all students! While in PE, students learn about the individual skills in a game but also life skills as well.

Our school is K-5.

Students have different skill levels throughout the building. All students should have the opportunity to play and experience a wide variety of games, build relationships with their peers, and create a sense of community while MOVING and having FUN!

Students are better learners when they are active learners!

When students have the chance to play on a daily basis, they are able to experience physical activity in a positive way. Physical activity and exercise helps build brains cells, too!

As a free and reduced-price lunch school, many of our students don't have the opportunity to participate in activities outside of the traditional school day. Our physical education classroom provides students with opportunities to play and experience activities they may not normally be involved in outside of school.

My Project

The new cones will help our students stay physically distanced while they are waiting in line to move inside or while listening to directions before we begin our activity. Cones placed around our field or in the gym will help remind students to stay at least 6 feet apart.

Student safety now is most important.

The multi-colored cones will provide clear visuals for learners who need more instructional help while playing or participating in a game while in PE. We want students to be able to move around our gym and field, but we also need to make sure lines are marked, spaces are known, and our students understand the importance of staying physically distanced!

Multi-colored cones will help us solve multiple concerns easily!
