Play, Progress, Perform: Building PE Skills That Stick

Saturday November 14, 2026 8:00am - 9:00am CST

Granada B & C

"Come ready to participate in activities and brainstorm from other professionals' experience. This high-energy session will show you how to intentionally scaffold (build) physical skills and game concepts across the elementary years preparing them to take on middle school. Great PE isn't just about what kids can do with their bodies — it's about who they're becoming in the process.

You'll leave with:
Practical strategies for scaffolding movement skills, game concepts, and tactical thinking across K–5
Tools for differentiating across ability levels while keeping every kid moving and engaged
Ways to weave social emotional learning into your PE program — building resilience, teamwork, self-regulation, and confidence alongside physical skills
A fresh perspective on how to measure the success of your elementary program — and celebrate how far your students have come
