Adding practices like reflective journaling, socratic seminars, and team-building games to gym class is a perfect way for kids to learn and practice key SEL skills.

P.E. classes have come a long way, points out New Jersey wellness teacher Suzanne Horsley. When she was in school, “we tended to the movement side of things, but we didn't necessarily attend to the emotional or the social.” Today, in Horsley’s class, kids still get exposed to the standard fare of physical skills, but they also have ample opportunity to practice things like cooperation, team-building, and kindness.
