When you first enter this website, it gives you variety of class types to choose from, with over 4000 lesson plans. When you click on your area that you want to teach, it then provides a list of grade levels. Once you choose a grade, it then directs you to a very long list of valuable activities and lesson plans. Not only does it provide games, relays, and contests, but it also includes activities that make connections with math, language arts, health and fitness, music, and even history.
In the older age groups, such as high school, you can find more suitable games for that age group. This category as well includes games and relays that can be related with math, and health and fitness. Each individual lesson plan is neatly organized. It breaks everything down, specifying the unit, grade level, time limit, previous lesson, concepts, the objective, and a detailed list of instructions.
I really like this website because it offers an extremely wide variety of games for all ages in an organized and efficient way. Also because it includes lesson plans for other subjects as well, and a link where you can add your own lesson plans or comment on others.

I found the second website through the University of British Columbia’s Education Library. It provided a link to Alberta’s Education Lesson Plans. Once on the home page, it provides a site overview, where it explains that the “aim of the lesson plans provided is to enable individuals to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to lead an active, healthy lifestyle”. Much like the TPSR model, the program outlined in the website revolves around four general outcomes – “The A, B, C and D’s of physical education”.
Moving on, to locate the structured lesson plans, click on the link titled “Teacher Resources”. You can then choose from four different options, though to locate actual lessons plans, click on “Go” under the lesson plans box. You then have the choice to create your own lesson plan, or view ones that others have submitted. To make your own lesson plan, this website has broken down everything in a very straightforward and well-organized way. You simply choose what outcome is involved in each category of the A, B, C, and D’s. You then fill in the blanks for the game title, age group, objectives, and so on, and then simply submit your lesson plan for others to enjoy. To view other submitted lesson plans, you choose the dimension and general outcome you wish, and it then provides you with a list of games accordingly.
I like the appearance of this website, as well as the concept of the A, B, C, and D’s of physical education. It provides games and contests for all ages, and does so in a well-ordered way. I would recommend this website because it is all based around physical education, and not in a traditional way. It offers new and exciting ideas for teaching P.E., as well as teaching tools to implement these ideas in an effective way.

The Educators Reference Desk is another website that I have found, that also includes lesson plans for a variety of subjects. After choosing the Physical Education link, it provides you more categories such as, games, motor skills, outdoor education, and gymnastics. Each link provides a list of activities and specifies the age group that the games are intended for. There are activities for grades K-12, however there are not many games. Although there is not a large selection, and this website does not have as an appealing image as the other two, it does provide some fun and interactive games. I really like that each lesson plan has a printer friendly option, so that people can add to their own portfolios.
