FREE — NO CARD REQUIRED

Free PE Games for Teachers

Free PE games for primary and secondary teachers — warm-ups, tag games, no-equipment games and sports games with teaching points and adaptations. No card required.

Every game on this page is free to use in your next PE lesson — no login, no card, no catch. Each one comes with simple equipment lists, teaching points and adaptations so it works with your class, your space and whatever is in the PE cupboard.

Start with a warm-up game, build the skill, finish with a small-sided game where pupils use it under pressure. If you want the whole year planned this way — units, lessons, assessment and printable packs — that's exactly what Sports I does.

FREE ACTIVITY OF THE DAY

Name Move Mixer

All ages 5 minutes No equipment

A perfect first-week or cover-lesson game: every pupil moves, every pupil learns a name, and you learn who needs support with coordination.

Set-up: Mark out a large open space. Pupils stand scattered around, well spaced apart.

How to play

  1. 1Each pupil thinks of a movement (star jump, spin, lunge, high knees) and says their name with it.
  2. 2On 'go', everyone walks around the space calling other pupils' names as they greet them.
  3. 3When you call 'Mix!', everyone performs the movement of the last pupil they greeted, then finds someone new.
  4. 4Every 2 minutes, pause and ask for a new volunteer to teach the class their move — the mixer grows each round.

Teaching points

  • Keep the pace light — this is a social game that doubles as a mobility warm-up.
  • Use it as your baseline observation: movement quality, confidence, who hovers at the edge.
