PE Lesson Plans for High School (FREE High School PE Activities)

• Doug Curtin
• November 17, 2021

Physical education teachers have a lot to cover! We have put together a week’s worth of PE lesson plans for high school students that range in fitness, nutrition, yoga and more. We hope you enjoy the free content and give some lessons a try with your students! 

Struggling to find engaging PE activities for high school students ?

Finding quality physical education lesson plans for high school is no simple task! Getting the right instructional materials that will engage and excite your students while not breaking the bank is hard! 

Yes, you can search online, go to a Shape America conference, or talk to fellow PE teachers and find hundreds of PE activities and physical education lesson plans to use.

But, you will often end up with tons of phys ed games for high school students that are fun once and then quickly lose student’s attention. Or, you end up finding workouts that have barely clothed models that are a far cry from what you want for high school fitness lesson plans . 

What is there for high school PE ?

Producing high school physical education units on multiple topics is tough!

Do you feel like you are a jack of all trades and yet a master of none? You only have so much money in your budget and time in your day to teach all the different PE topics well. You are left asking yourself, 

• What equipment do I need for fun and cutting edge PE games for high school ? 
• Do I have the right equipment to run PE workouts for high school ? 

How does this all even fit into what my administrators want for high school physical education lesson plans ?

A week’s worth of free PE lesson plans for high school classes

When you feel like you are at stalemate with your lessons, sometimes it doesn’t hurt to sample! With so many great phys ed lesson plans for high school, it is hard to make sense of all that is out there. Here you will find a sample week of high-quality content that high school pe teachers tap into on a yearly basis. 

With a combination of fitness, nutrition, yoga, and dance, there is something to for every student to look forward to in the week. Additionally, you’ll find that some days give you a little extra time to sprinkle in some of those fun pe games that your kids still long for!

Day 1: Intro To Fitness – Air Squat & Hinge 

Many students arrive to high school needing a full introduction to foundational human movements. Even if they did learn things like the squat, lunge, hinge, press, and pull at the middle school level, chances are that your high school physical education class will greatly benefit from movement review. 

Today, we are beginning our movement and fitness journey by learning two of the most important foundational human movements – the Squat & the Hinge.

• 2 Minutes of light cardio
• Spiderman & Reach – 1 Minute Continuous Movement, Alternating 
• Alt. Samson – 1 Minute Continuous Movement
• Good Mornings 4 x 10 Reps 
• Elbow Plan 4 x :20 Seconds 
• 1:00 Rest After Each Round
• Introduce the 4 points of performance 
• Air Squat 2 x 5 Reps

5 Rounds Of 10 Air Squats + 2:00 Walk/Jog/Run

Day 2: Intro To Nutrition – Calories 

Are you tasked with teaching wellness within your physical education class? If you need a day off from physical activity and in need of lesson ideas, nutrition can be a fantastic addition. 

While nutrition can be a part of k-12 physical education plan, high school is often the first time where students can start to contextualize the science and practical application of nutrition. With written and video lessons, paired with chapter questions students have an interactive way to start exploring their everyday nutrition.

• Written lesson breaking down what our body sees when we eat and how many calories we need 
• Video breaking down energy and chemistry of calories
• Check out the full lesson segment here
• Written lesson discussing signs of not eating enough or eating too much 
• Video introducing and explaining the hunger to fullness scale
• Check out the full lesson segment here 
• 9 chapter questions provided that can be either done individually or incorporated as part of a group discussion

Discover the Power of PLT4M

Curious how more than 10,000 PE teachers are using PLT4M’s Fitness and Wellness Curriculum and digital learning software? 

Day 3: Intro to Fitness – Press & Pull 

Returning back to another fitness lesson plan for high school PE. Now, we hit the upper body and learn how to safely press and pull. We focus on scaling and modifying with all our physical activity, but place a special emphasis on this with things like pressing and pulling. 

In this lesson students will learn how to appropriately scale the level of difficulty the push up and inverted row.

• Shoulder Warm Up – 15 Slow Reps per movement 
• 1:00 Jumping Jacks
• Introduce the 4 points of performance of push up  
• Review movement scaling and elevating the push up 
• Elevated Push Ups 4 x 5
• Introduce the 4 points of performance of the inverted row 
• Inverted Row 5 x 5
• Introduce the butterfly sit up 
• Butterfly sit up 2 x 5
• AMRAP 8: 60 Jumping Jacks, 10 Push Ups, 10 Butterfly Sit ups

Day 4: Intro To Yoga – Standing Poses 

Yoga is one of the most popular exercise options and requires no equipment. But as a physical education teacher you may not feel comfortable teaching yoga. 

Like any type of physical activity, yoga has basic components that can be introduced as an excellent start. In this lesson, students will get a chance to try and practice four of the most popular standing poses in yoga, and then put them into a more traditional flow.

• Begin yoga integration 
• Flow Sun A with performance and refinement cues 
• Flow Sun A using breath to movement
• Chair Pose Intro & Practice 
• Warrior 2 Intro & Practice 
• Extended Side Angle Intro & Practice 
• Reverse Warrior Intro & Practice
• Apply new poses to a full flow 
• Practice 2 times through, 1 slow, 1 faster

Day 5: Dance Fitness 

Many physical education programs have what is called a ‘fun Friday.’ If you arrive on day 5 and want to give the choice of different gym games for high school students, then go for it!

You have had a great week of lessons, and your students can now have some time to explore and play different games like frisbee, badminton, or volleyball that you have throughout the gym. 

If you want to have a little more structure but keep the fun, give dance fitness a try! A trending topic in the world of fitness, dance gives students a fun way to sweat and move.

• Get moving with some light cardio 
• Layer in a few static stretches
• Introduce and and practice the 8 main dance moves for the main cardio effort
• Put the 8 dance moves to work through a fun sequence following along with Coach Alexa
• Let your heart rates come back down and hit some stretches before going on with the rest of your day

Because the UBC Library's system for classifying materials is aimed at organizing research and scholarship, searching for curriculum materials can be difficult. We recommend using the following terms for a targeted search within the library catalogue for K-12 teaching and learning resources. These results have been limited to books and e-books in the Education Library:

• " study and teaching "
• " lesson plans " or " lesson planning "
• "activity program" or "activity programs"
• " juvenile literature " - information books for children & young adults
• "juvenile fiction" - novels and picture books
• " pz4.9 " - picture books
• " juvenile poetry " - poetry for children & young adults

Add these terms to the subject area, lesson topic, or theme to find books and other materials on your topic.

For example: "study and teaching" AND science

The below handout will provide more guidance for effectively searching for teaching resources in the UBC Library:

Strategies for School and Youth Programs

• Comprehensive school physical activity programs use a combination of strategies to increase physical activity before, during, and after school.
• See approaches you can take, examples of what others have done, and resources.

Comprehensive physical activity programs may include physical education, recess, classroom physical activity, staff involvement in employee wellness programs, and family and community engagement. By implementing a comprehensive physical activity program, schools help students get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity.

Comprehensive physical education

Physical education (PE) is a K–12 academic subject. It provides standards-based curricula to develop students' knowledge and behaviors for physical activity, physical fitness, and motor skills. Schools can develop and carry out comprehensive PE policies for daily physical activity . This will prepare students to be physically active at school and beyond.

Opportunities before, during, and after school

In addition to quality physical education, schools can carry out recess and classroom policies to ensure students are physically active during the day. Physical activity before and after school might include:

• Physical activity clubs.
• Intramural programs (recreational sports for fun).
• Interscholastic sports (competitive sports between schools).
• Access to team and individual sports.
• Physical activity in before- and after-school programs.

Request for Proposals for lesson plans under the “Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in Basic Education in Namibia and Zimbabwe” project

UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa (ROSA) is implementing the Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in basic education project in Namibia and Zimbabwe. This project is supporting the integration of living heritage in basic education, through a whole-school approach involving communities, teachers, and learners. Incorporating living heritage in schools can help contextualize how and what students learn, create stronger connections between classrooms and learners’ everyday life and strengthen their sense of pride for their own cultures and respect for others. Integrating living heritage in schools strengthens appreciation of cultural diversity; connects schools, families and communities; reinforces relations between children, their parents and grandparents; engages them in heritage safeguarding; and stimulates students’ curiosity – all this while making learning more relevant, inclusive, and accessible. 

Furthermore, intangible cultural heritage supports linking education systems to the local community and vice versa, recognizing the role of the communities in the teaching and learning processes. In this regard, intangible cultural heritage provides a needed and incredibly rich resource for attaining SDG 4, notably Target 4.7 which emphasizes learning to ‘appreciate cultural diversity’ and to ‘understand the role of culture for development’ as part of education for sustainable development and global citizenship.  

THE ASSIGNMENT AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS

In this context, UNESCO is seeking a consultant(s) to coordinate and manage the development of lesson plans under the “Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in Basic Education in Namibia and Zimbabwe” project.

Coordinate and manage the development and implementation of lessons plans on integrating living heritage in lessons plans .  

Tasks for the implementation partner include the following: 

Using the approved UNESCO template, review all lessons plans, received from 24 participating schools in Namibia (12) and Zimbabwe (12) on integrating living heritage. 

The project manager should expect to receive at least 5 lesson plans per school, which include 3 elements from various domains of intangible cultural heritage. 

These lesson plans should cover at least 5 different learning areas from the basic education curriculum. 

Amend, where necessary, the content of the lesson plans, to ensure that it aligns with the UNESCO approved template and guidelines. 

Coordinate the translation of the lesson plans into other official languages of Namibia and Zimbabwe including Oshiwambo and Afrikaans, as well as Shona and Ndebele. 

The project manager, with support from the UNESCO Project Coordinator, needs to enquire if there are any other indigenous languages within the regions or provinces of the participating schools which should be used to translate the lesson plans. 

Provide copy editing and design services for all lesson plans received from the 24 participating schools. 

Monitor and evaluate the implementation of the lesson plans in the participating schools and provide monthly feedback to the UNESCO Project Coordinator.

Name of Activity:

Flexibility Rush

Purpose of Activity:

Prerequisites:, suggested grade level:, materials needed:.

Description of Idea

2. Place the puzzle pieces in the center circle on your basketball court (9 puzzle pieces per group, see the attached document).

3. Groups will be placed at the baseline.

4. Two of the group members will stay at the baseline and do stretching activities (make sure you warm the students up first) and work on the puzzle pieces.

5. The rest of the group (3 students) hold hands and travels to the center circle by using the loco-motor movement called by teacher (walk, run, skip, gallop, etc.) and they pick one puzzle piece and bring it to their group at the baseline.

6. Next, students who were doing stretching activities take their turn to travel to the center circle and retrieve a puzzle piece while others working on the puzzle and doing stretching exercises. 7. One person from the puzzle retrieving group travels with the two people who were doing stretching exercises to the center circle.

8. Students should keep taking turns working on puzzle and retrieving puzzle pieces throughout the activity.

9. The group that solves the puzzle sits altogether to let their teacher know that they are completed their task.

Assessment Ideas:

2. For cognitive learning assessment, teacher would ask students to use the words from their puzzle and come up with two sentences that talks about flexibility and the importance of the stretching activities (see the attached document). 3. For affective domain learning assessment, teacher would request a written statement shows students' support for teammates. Teacher would also create a multiple choice question that students can pick the behaviors they did to support their friends while they are solving the puzzle (a. I gave encouraging comments, b.I cheered for my friends, etc.)
