Title - Picking Fair teams
By - Michelle Brydan
Primary Subject - Health / Physical Education
Secondary Subjects - Science, Language Arts, Health / Physical Education, Other
Grade Level - 3-6
I do this activity with my students all the time and it really works! During gym has your student ever complained that it's not fair teams? I have the answer! Tell the students to pick a friend. Afterwards separate the two friends to different teams. When your students catch on they will begin to join students who they do not have relationships with. Then all you have to do is do the opposite. Put them on the same teams and keep switching. There is no complaining that goes on in my class anymore!
