Cliff Roop | Team Building & Cooperatives in Primary PE

Welcome to episode 157 of The PE Umbrella Podcast! This week I am joined for a second stint on the show by Elementary PE teacher Cliff Roop. On this episode, we squeeze in questions that we simply couldn't fit in first time around to understand better how Cliff works and thinks. We then jump in and focus on the importance of team building and cooperative type activities and units to set your students up for success in the coming year and build solid foundations. Cliff shares his recent success in using my 'crack the codes' activity and details the modifications and learning that both he and his students got from it. Not to mention the several rabbit holes and tangents we venture down, this makes for a fascinating listen and brings the PE knowledge bombs... So what are you waiting for? Jump under the umbrella with us and join in the conversation by tweeting me @thepeumbrella. Note pad ready!
