Piedra, Nancy; Liu, Jiling
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v35 n6 p41-43 2022
Physical education is an important venue to develop children's motor competencies and healthy lifestyles. It is concerning that participation rates in secondary physical education classes have been declining in recent years. The decline is often associated with a decreased level of motivation. While many physical educators are struggling with finding effective ways to motivate their students, we recommend incorporating effective icebreakers to approach the challenge. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of using icebreakers and describe a set of three icebreakers that are easy to implement in physical education classes.
