For several years, I have been organizing my P.E. classes by rainbow colors. I enjoy purchasing equipment in rainbow sets. This makes classroom management a breeze. The students are able to quickly locate and clean up equipment. This year I was able to purchase an ORANGE and a PURPLE mat, which completed my rainbow set of mats! I have been wanting these mats for a long time, and it's so great to have them now! I'm sure these mats will be used and enjoyed by students for many many years to come.
Gym mats are used for a LARGE variety of skills and activities in P.E. class. Not only are they used for tumbling and gymnastics skills, but also for games involving throwing and catching skills. Mats can be used as "walls", "ships", "houses", and much more! It's fun to be creative while teaching elementary P.E.
The students were so excited the first time they walked into the gym and saw the mats set up. Because of a coupon deal from the company, I was also able to purchase equipment for the game which I call, "SORRY!". Please see pictures and videos below for a glimpse of how I've used this equipment this year.
