P. E. WORD WALL
A Word Wall is an interactive collection of words used by many classroom teachers to reinforce vocabulary, spelling, letter-sound correspondence, and more. I have implemented this strategy to teach many of the words or terms that are used in Physical Education throughout the year. To get started, I created and laminated individual letter cards (in school colors, of course!) for the alphabet and evenly spaced them along an entire wall in the gym. I then selected the new words or terms for all lessons taught throughout the year. Each of these was printed on a piece of paper in a large bold font and all word cards were laminated. Each time one of the words or terms appears in a lesson, I reinforce it by pointing it out on the Word Wall. In addition to emphasizing the words taught in class, a P. E. Word Wall provides a visual display that is also an excellent opportunity to promote Physical Education to parents, visitors, administrators, or other teachers.
