Middle School PE and Health Sub Plans, 2 Weeks, Long Term Sub Plans for 6th 7th 8th Grade, No Prep, 137 Pages

I turned food labels, first aid and net game rules into ten seated lessons. Two weeks of no prep long term sub plans for health and PE in 6th, 7th and 8th grade, made for a middle school classroom with no gym: one topic a day, from nutrition and sleep to muscles, hydration and hygiene. Each set lists its SHAPE America standards, and every task (the Monday opener, each PE and health set, calm block, team task and game) starts with a "Say this to the class" box: two or three sentences that tell students what to do and how to start. Every day has individual work (the PE and health set and a calm block) and a team task for groups of four, plus an optional game on that day’s lessons as a fun way to end the class. Every set and team task has a core task and a ★ challenge for fast finishers. It is all seated, paper and pencil work: no gym, no equipment and no PE background needed, and every answer is in the key. No prep: print and go.

Perfect For

• Two weeks out: surgery or medical leave, a family emergency, a school trip, jury duty
• A good start for a longer absence: the first two weeks of a long term sub, before your own plans take over
• A sub who is not a PE or health teacher: every set runs from the printout, and every answer is in the key
• Health and PE in grades 6, 7 and 8 when the gym is not an option: everything is seated work in the classroom
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it

How It Works

1. Print the two binders and leave them on your desk. Week 1 covers days 1 to 5, Week 2 covers days 6 to 10. Each binder has its own week plan on page 4, already filled in with page numbers, and it says what to copy: one set and calm block per student, one team task per group.
2. The sub reads the "Say this to the class" box at the top of the task, then runs the day’s PE and health set in every period. Each set is one period (45 to 55 minutes) of seated, written work. Every student does the core task; fast finishers go on to the ★ challenge.
3. The calm block (learn 8 words from the day’s topic, then a quiet self-test) is for early finishers or a loud moment, the team task for groups of four fills a period on its own, a block period or extra time, and the game is optional fun for the last 15 minutes.
4. Every set stands alone, so each plan is only a sample order: move any set to any day. Every answer is in the key at the back of each binder, so the sub needs no PE or health background. Prefer your own order? Each binder includes a blank weekly schedule.

What the Sub Gets

• A note to the substitute in each binder: the daily routine, how the core task and the ★ challenge work, what to do if the class is loud, and what the standards line on each set means
• A "Say this to the class" script for every task: the Monday opener, each PE and health set, calm block, team task and game (42 in all), two or three sentences that say what students do, how (on their own, in pairs, in groups of four or as a whole class) and the first step
• A step by step sub script for each Monday opener and a sub script for every game
• Each week plan already filled in with page numbers, a blank schedule, a set index, a class list and a "how it went" page
• Every answer in the key: every set, calm block, team task and game
