The purpose of creating this guide is to help save time for physical education teachers. This guide is very straightforward and easy to use. Within this guide you will find many different tools to use in your classroom.

Let me break down how each section works. In every section I have supplied a unit plan for physical education every day and a unit plan for physical education twice a week. When having class every day the units are two weeks long, and when you have class twice a week the units are three weeks long. Following the unit plans are the lessons for the units. The lessons are just a guideline you can choose to use any lesson or a combination of two different lessons. I have placed the lessons in the order I feel is best and it is easy to make a copy of the lesson to turn in to the principal.

I know that some schools do not have class as often as other schools. If your school is like that, then you can just pull off any of the lessons to form your unit. The lessons are very flexible and can be interchanged with others. You can even take ideas from one lesson and put them with another lesson. Really you are the person who will be in charge of what lessons you want to teach, not me. I am just giving you some guidelines and trying to make it easier.

The main reasons why I have chose to create this guide are to help new teachers and those who also coach. I know that coaching can take up a lot of time and having this guide will help those coaches a ton. I also know what it is like to be a new teacher and not know where to start or even have a bank of activities to use. This guide will provide for a great start. Even if you have been teaching for a few years, you will like this curriculum guide.

The lessons are very easy to follow. On each lesson lists the equipment needed, warm-up, skill development, activity/game, and cool down. I have placed times, which should be spent on each section of the lesson. For the activity/game, the time I suggest is "Remainder of class." What is meant by this is after you add up the time for the other sections whatever time is left the students spend playing the activity/game.

The units are in alphabetical order and separated by color. Having the sections in different color will help you to find the unit you desire to use. Not only are the sections colored but also each lesson plan is labeled by day. By having the day printed on the lesson will allow you to return the page to the correct place.

The following are the units from the Teaching Guide:

Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Football, Frisbee, Human Heart, Jump Rope, Kickball, Kicking, Locomotor, Manipulative, Miscellaneous, Net Games, Paddle Games, Parachute, Scooter Board, Soccer, Striking, Tag Games, Team Handball, and Throwing.
