20 games with 3 cones and minimal participants !!!


As I said recently due to work, coaching and study this is going to be my last blog post for a while. Also the traffic we have been getting doesn't merit the effort we have been putting in so we are going to take a break from the blogging for now and continue to invest in our twitter handle @PALM_Ireland.
When deciding what to post about it occurred to me that wouldn't it be nice to have a number of minute fillers so if we are presented with a slot within our day to have a 20 minute PE class or a slot within a coaching session that we would like to fill with something different and fun.
There is never a slot too long or too short to fill with Physical Activity. When we sat down one thing struck us straight off. How easy it is to come up with non time intensive, non equipment intensive, non complex tasks that can be enjoyed by any age and some of which can be classed as "old school" yard games.
In a sporting context i have see cones get in the way of many a good session or warm-up so i thought this might be a way of playfully mocking the Cone Gods.
We left it at 20 as we feel there is a good smattering of activities across the board within them and we also tried to stay away from Sport Specific activities which of course would have added multiple more activities to the list.  Of course the beauty of the list is you can do them no matter the size of your class or team. Just put them in pairs or 3's and away you go.
We also include a video for some of the activities. We hope you enjoy them and in the words of Kretchmar keep the movement "joyful".
