Show notes

Hear this live recap of the 2nd Annual #PhysEdChopped Challenge, a social event and collaborative competition at #SHAPETampa! Eight teams of teachers competed in a three-round single elimination tournament. Each round (Instant Activity, Skill Lesson, and "You're Being Observed...") featured a wacky combination of PE equipment. The teams were expected to use all of the equipment to create a game or activity that fit within the theme of each round. Four judges evaluated each activity based on Creativity, Use of the Equipment, and Presentation. Teams were “chopped” from the competition at the end of each round until one team was named “The #PhysEdChopped Champions!”
