Functional Fitness Chart Kits - Secondary Series (9-12)

#1: Fitness Blasts

Give students a 20 to 30 minute workout by selecting a series of charts that target specific or general areas of improvement.




#2: Traditional Circuits

With so many varieties of traditional circuits at your disposal, you get to pick. Whether it's a musical circuit, pit circuit, balloon circuit, or four-corner circuit, you'll be sure to engage all of your students while building proper movement patterns. It's exercise in disguise!




#3: Introduce Literacy Skills

Use the charts to introduce literacy skills as outlined in Think Literacy: Cross-Curricular Approaches, Health and Physical Education, Grades 7-10, and other documents.




#4: Fitness Fun Fairs

Invite the school community to participate in a fitness fair. Students can use the charts to run stations and share their experiences with other members of their school community (teachers, parents, siblings, teachers and others).




#5: Brain Blasts

Engage the whole school in a "think break." When music plays over the PA system, each class performs one of the exercises on the charts.

"This is an excellent resource for teachers looking to adapt DPA and secondary H&PE curriculum requirements into their school day. The cards are easy to read and the pictures showing the actions are clear for students at any age or reading level."

~ Jeff Bumstead, Curriculum Consultant, Ontario Health and Physical Education Association (OPHEA)

#6: Infuse Numeracy Skills

Games like Code Breaker or React n’ Grab are a great way to bring some fun-filled numeracy to Daily Physical Activity (DPA). “If the numbers I say equal an odd number, then the first person to grab the reaction ball get’s a point!”




#7: Leadership & Life Skills

Older students get to be “HAL Heroes” by mastering fundamental movement patterns and teaching them to younger grades. HAL Heroes is a chance for students to develop leadership and life skills while modeling the ABC’s of physical literacy.




#8: Technology & Digital Literacy

Incorporate technology into your activity so students can exercise their digital literacy, and their bodies. Slick new apps and technology are a fun way for students to observe their progress, self-correct and share physical literacy tips.




#9: PLAY & Passport For Life

Use the charts as a PLAY or Passport For Life tool to help ALL students learn the correct movement patterns and build physical literacy. Functional Fitness Charts are developmentally appropriate in line with the LTAD program.




#10: Exercise in Disguise

There are countless ways to gamify the charts to build physical literacy. Reach more students in your class and bring fun to fitness. Ever heard of “Rock-Paper-Scissors Yoga Football?”
