Practical PE Lessons, Games & Resources for Elementary PE Teachers

Meet Cap’n Pete

I’m Pete Charrette, a physical educator with more than 30 years in the gym. I created Cap’n Pete’s Power PE to help PE teachers build strong, engaging programs without starting from scratch. On the blog, you’ll find practical strategies, games, and station ideas you can use right away. And more than 1,000 ready-to-use resources (activities, field day materials, posters, visuals, templates, and more) are available in my TPT store, with 260+ of my favorites featured here.

What People Say

Kids Running Indoors

SHORT JUMP ROPE UNIT

Loved the detailed lesson plans! Wasn't quite sure how to approach our jump rope unit as I've never taught it previously. Loved that there were so many different parts to the lessons (e.g. warmups, stations, group challenges, etc.)

SCOOTER BOARD CITY

We love Scooter Board City! Cap'n Pete rocks this unit. I have been using his signs and Scooter Licenses for years… They ask me every year—When are we doing Scooter City???!! Thank you Cap'n Pete!! You are one of the PE all-stars!

GAMES FOR LARGE GROUPS

I use these games to break up my skill and sport units. Students are engaged and love competing against each other. I have very large classes and these games make everyone participate. Would highly recommend these, again and again.
