Although we celebrated "Found Penny Day" earlier this year, we decided to celebrate "Lucky Penny Day" on our last day of Physical Education, Thursday, May 23. We played the same game as before and had just as much fun. I threw pennies in the air and students found one and stepped on it. We then said "Find a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck." Students bent down to pick up their penny and look at it. If it was tails they ran a lap around the gym. If it was heads they went to a designated piece of equipment and worked on throwing and catching. They threw and caught fun equipment like dice, light up balls, scarves, and deck tennis rings. They had a good time.

Landing on tails meant jogging one lap around the gym. Good job!
