When I become a Physical Education teacher, playing games will be a must in my gym. One reason for that is because playing games is the way we get our lessons across. We can't have students come in, take out paper and a pencil and learn on the gym floor. We will be playing games about motor skills, cooperation, sports and I will even integrate P.E to other subjects such as English, Science and Math. Another reason is because I want P.E to be fun and memorable, but also a class where students will be motivated to want to be more active in their lives. Just last week on the internet I saw an article about what people remembered most from P.E when they were in elementary school. Reading that reminded me of when I was in elementary school and when we played with the parachute, played dodge ball (even though we can't play that now) and learned how to throw a football. That is exactly how I want my P.E class to be. I want my students to grow up and go back and remember all the fun things we did, just like I did.
