WHAT IT DOES

What is a PE activities wheel?

A PE activities wheel is a customizable random picker for teacher-approved warmups, movement games, skill stations, relays, practice drills, and class challenges.

Add activities that match the lesson, students, space, equipment, and available time, then spin to choose the next movement task, station, game, or class rotation in a way everyone can see.
