Middle School PE and Health Maternity Leave Sub Plans, 6 Weeks, 6th 7th 8th Grade, 30 Days, Long Term Sub Plans, No Prep, 407 Pages

Thirty seated days, from the Olympic rings to checking a health ad’s claims. Six weeks of no prep middle school sub plans for a maternity leave in 6th, 7th and 8th grade health and PE: a strong start for a leave or any long term absence, a different topic every day, and no gym needed. 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

• The first six weeks of a maternity leave, so your health and PE 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 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 six binders and leave them on your desk. Week 1 covers days 1 to 5, Week 2 covers days 6 to 10, Week 3 covers days 11 to 15, Week 4 covers days 16 to 20, Week 5 covers days 21 to 25, Week 6 covers days 26 to 30. 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. 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, 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 (126 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
