This set of activities is designed for before and after school programs, leveraging the variety of equipment found in the Deluxe ClassPlus® Before and After School Pack. The activities cater to up to 150 students and provide a diverse range of physical education experiences for elementary through junior high students. These fun and engaging activities will help students develop fundamental movement skills while keeping them active and entertained.

1. Foot Frenzy Football: Pair up students for a kicking challenge using the soccer balls or footballs from the pack, teaching them kicking accuracy and dribbling. Younger students can focus on basic kicking, while older students work on target practice or small-sided games.

2. Disc Dashers: Divide students into teams and use the flying discs for a long-distance accuracy challenge. Students aim to hit specific targets, working on both throwing power and precision.

3. Parachute Power Play: Gather students around the parachute for cooperative games that emphasize teamwork and upper-body strength. They’ll practice locomotor skills like running under the parachute or shaking it to create "waves" that keep balls bouncing.

4. Hop Along Relay: Students use the hop-along bouncers in a relay race, focusing on balance and coordination. This activity is great for younger students to practice stability while having fun bouncing down the course.

5. Speed Soccer Showdown: Organize a timed soccer game where students must score as many goals as possible within a set time limit using the included soccer balls. This activity focuses on speed, endurance, and quick decision-making.

6. Rope-tastic Jump Challenges: Use the jump ropes to create a variety of jump challenges, where students work on timing, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. Younger kids can master basic jumps, while older students can attempt double-unders or jumping patterns.

7. Bouncing Base-Ball Blast: Use the bases, bats, and plastic balls to set up a fun home-run derby for students of different ages, focusing on coordination and striking skills. Younger students can hit off a tee, while older students practice swinging at soft pitches.

8. Horseshoe Hoopla: Students practice their aim by tossing horseshoes to land around the base. This classic game encourages students to develop precision and hand-eye coordination.

9. Spiral Pass Pursuit: Using the footballs, students practice throwing spirals to partners or into targets. This activity helps students build arm strength and accuracy in a fun, competitive environment.

10. Speedy Soccer Scramble: Organize small-sided soccer matches using the soccer balls, encouraging teamwork and locomotor skills like running, dribbling, and kicking. All age groups can engage in modified soccer games to enhance fundamental movement skills.

11. Juggling Joy Ride: Older students can challenge themselves by learning how to juggle with the small activity balls. This is a great way to improve hand-eye coordination, focus, and persistence in a solo or group setting.

12. Parachute Popcorn Play: Place several activity balls on the parachute, and students will work together to bounce them as high as possible without letting them fall off. This game emphasizes cooperation and upper-body coordination.

13. Ultimate Frisbee Fun: Use the flying discs for an exciting game of Ultimate Frisbee, where students practice catching, throwing, and quick direction changes. The lightweight discs are perfect for both elementary and junior high students.

14. Disc Golf Gauntlet: Create a disc golf course using cones and bases as "holes" and challenge students to complete the course with the fewest throws. This activity develops precision, planning, and spatial awareness, making it a great challenge for older students.

15. Competitive Capture the Cone: Using the cones, students play a variation of Capture the Flag where the goal is to steal the opposing team's cones without being tagged. This game emphasizes strategy, agility, and teamwork in a fast-paced environment.
