Nowadays, there aren't many things that are free, and even advice seems to ask for a handout fee. But, not in this case. Included in this topic are free things that have stood the test of time for many years, and if not, there are always alternatives and variations to make the skills and activities in line with the standards. Part of the tips, tricks and freebies is from my FREE, unpublished book (formatting on Word isn't perfect) that is yours for the taking anyway you see that meets the needs…See More

Gerry Cernicky posted a blog postBe active, Stay active
There is always a good time to take part in some form of physical activity. It can be at school, home, or even at work. Within a couple of months, most schools will at the end of June, and just in time for a well-deserved summer break. But, that doesn't mean that the activity has to stop right at the last day of school. There will be time for vacations or staying close to home to visit the parks system on the national and state levels.This will be a great time to celebrate all forms of…See More

Gerry Cernicky posted a blog postIf you had fun, you won!-
At the end of each class session, as the students were lined up to leave the gym, the expression that was left with them after activities was "if you had fun, you won." Usually, this was after participating in games and activities that involved competition. Small sided games gave the opportunity to not only keep score, but also and more important was to beat a previous performance. This took the onus of competition out of play and incorporated individual experiences, and fun. In many instances,…See More
