Seeing them use the pilates ball reminds me… Back in junior high school (early 80s for me), phys ed class was up to 150 students each period. In winter, we were programmed for indoor activities – two halves of the gym, the weight room, health class, maybe nerf indoor hockey in the cafeteria if gym period wasn’t close to lunchtime. In other seasons, we were programmed for various outdoor sports. In those outdoor seasons, if there was any significant rain, they kept us inside – but weren’t able to swiftly pivot to the same spaces & activities as winter. So… We would play Crab Soccer. The entire class in gym clothes, sitting on the gymnasium floor, two very large teams, obliged to remain sitting, goal lines at each end of the gym with several goalies, and half-a-dozen kickballs & one very large medicine ball in play simultaneously.
