Our K classes often do station rotations in the gym--scooter boards, large balls, scoops and balls, beanbags, balance on benches, etc.

Relay games with batons, balls, scooter boards.
Throwing games with small ball pit balls. Games of
Simon Does (like Simon says but they imitate my movements).
Catch a ball in a cup (attached to a string) for hand eye.
hula hoop games, throwing frisbees into hula hoops or other
manipulatives like bean bags. Word games where they imitate animals that begin with the letter J or B etc. Do mulitiple commands on a whistle i.e. Jump three times, clap hands two times and turn around once. Hokey pokey, head and shoulders knees and toes (the Wiggles version) Can you point your fingers and do the twist (wiggles) Macarena. (still have the CD)

I just wanted to say that when I was in Kindergarten we did many of the things already listed, but we also did some other things that I think they would find fun.

My PE teacher had a huge parachute that she would spread out on the floor and then everyone would grab a "corner," although there were not technical corners... Then we would shake it really fast and she would throw things on it like rubber chickens, then other times she would let every other kid run under there and run around for a minute or so then switch.

She also had juggling scarfs that she had us try to juggle (basically we threw them in the air one at a time and grabbed the other, since they were so light it took them longer to come down).

We also had sections with hula hoops were we could hula hoop or jump in and out of them.

She also had a really long jump rope and she would sit backwards in a chair and have one student hold the other end (just hold it, not move it) then she would spin it and two students could jump for a little bit, then she would rotate and switch it out.

We played duck duck goose as well.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I'll remember some more later on and I will post them then.

Have fun!
