High School PE and Health Maternity Leave Sub Plans, 6 Weeks, 9th 10th 11th 12th Grade PE and Health, 30 Days, Long Term Sub Plans, No Prep, 404 Pages

No whistle, no gym floor: just thirty days of PE and health at the desks. Six weeks of high school PE and health maternity leave sub plans: long term sub plans for 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade PE and health in six binders, which any sub can run in a regular classroom, on paper, with no gym and no equipment. Every task (each PE and health set, calm block, team task, game and Monday opener) 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 set and a calm block) and a team task for groups of four, plus an optional game on that day’s lesson as a fun way to end the class; on Day 30, the big review day, the set, the team task and the game go back over all six weeks. Every set has a core task and a ★ challenge for fast finishers. Nobody has to exercise: where a task mentions a move, trying it is optional and every move has a seated way. No prep: print and go. I planned the six weeks as a strong start for the first weeks of a maternity leave, and they serve a medical leave, a family leave or any absence of about six weeks just as well.

Perfect For

• The first six weeks of a maternity leave, so your PE and health classes start the leave with a plan for every day
• Six weeks out: surgery or medical leave, a family leave, a long illness
• A long-term sub who is not a PE teacher, or weeks when the gym is booked: everything runs in a regular classroom, and every answer is in the key
• PE, health and combined PE and health classes, with a core task for everyone and a ★ challenge for fast finishers
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it

How It Works

1. Print the six binders and leave them on your desk. Week 1 covers days 1 to 5, Week 2 days 6 to 10, Week 3 days 11 to 15, Week 4 days 16 to 20, Week 5 days 21 to 25 and Week 6 days 26 to 30. Each binder has its own week plan on page 4, already filled in with page numbers.
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 written work. Every student does the core task; fast finishers go on to the ★ challenge.
3. The calm block (learn 8 terms, then a quiet self-test) is for early finishers or a loud moment, the team task for groups of four fills a block period or extra time, and the game is optional fun for the last 15 minutes.
4. Everything happens at desks, on paper. Nobody has to exercise. Where a task mentions a move (a circuit card, a warm-up card, a fitness station), trying it is optional and every move has a seated way; reading aloud is always optional too.
5. Every set stands alone, so each plan is only a sample order: move any set to any day. Each set opens with a line that says what it reviews. Day 30 is the big review day and works best last. 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, and what to do if the class is loud
• A "Say this to the class" script for every task: the Monday opener, each PE and health set, each calm block, each team task and each game (126 in all), two or three sentences that say what students do, how (on their own, 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 "Read this out" box on most games
• Each week plan already filled in with page numbers, a blank schedule, a class list and a "how it went" page
• Every answer in the key, including the ★ challenges
