Wiley Coyotes vs the Wild Turkeys is a full-class tag game for physical education: students split into two teams, with the larger 'Turkey' group defending hula-hoop nests full of foam-ball eggs while 'Coyote' taggers try to steal one egg per tag and deposit it in a bucket before time runs out. A lesson-plan template lists the equipment (hula hoops, foam balls, colored jerseys, buckets, pool-noodle taggers), a warm-up slot, a group activity where students read animal fact cards about turkeys and coyotes before playing, and blank fields for the teacher to fill in the specific grade level and learning target. The plan lists five numbered SHAPE America national PE standards addressed by the activity and offers modifications such as varying team size or allowing a strategy break. The same lesson-plan structure used here — equipment list, warm-up slot, and SHAPE America standards — is available on its own as a blank PE lesson plan template for building additional gym lessons.
