P.E. leads to higher test scores.
The science is clear: structured elementary PE leads to higher test scores. Are you sure elementary PE is expendable?
A major review conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) examined 50 studies exploring the relationship between school-based physical activity and academic performance. Across 251 measured relationships, 50.5% showed positive associations with academic outcomes, while only 1.5% were negative. The findings suggest that physical activity can support learning without compromising academic achievement.
Yet, many classroom teachers are responsible for delivering PE without the specialized training, lesson plans, or preparation time traditionally available to PE instructors.
There's a better solution. Classroom teachers need a modern resource that is easy to use and doesn't add to their daily instructional burden.
That's where Push Play PE comes in. Our budget friendly on-demand PE videos support classroom teachers by offering ready-made, standards-based PE tutorials that show in class before students go play. Instead of researching activities, developing lessons, or demonstrating unfamiliar skills, teachers simply 'push play' on credentialed launch lessons. Teachers can ensure physical education without becoming PE specialists. It's a practical way to make PE more consistent while relieving the PE burden on classroom teachers.
Teaching Elementary PE is hard. Push Play PE makes it as easy as 'pushing play'.
