PE games for grades 3–5

Use this template for PE lessons when you want to organize warm-ups, make random groups, and keep score in an active, fair way. The class sees a bright background, a wheel for warm-up moves, a group maker for teams, a scoreboard, a stopwatch for races, and a checklist of steps.

It helps students ages 8–11 stay focused, know what to do next, and have fun competing or cooperating in games. Everything is visible and easy for everyone to follow.
