About this resource

What's inside this resource

This PE Alphabet Word Wall is jam-packed with everything you need to compose a word wall in your gym class.

For each letter, you will get the letter heading and 3-6 vocabulary terms to go up under that letter.

Vocabulary terms are printed 3 per page.

An editable word building file is included so you can add new words any time you think of them.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Define commonly used PE and health terms as they are posted and referenced during lessons

  • Connect gym vocabulary to the letter of the alphabet it begins with

  • Generate additional PE-related words to extend the class word wall

Teaching tips

  • Follow the file's own setup order - print, laminate, then cut the ovals - so the pieces survive gym-wall conditions

  • Keep new words visually consistent by typing them into the builder's color frames, which mirror the main file's palette

  • The creator notes the word set spans roughly grades 2-10, so use the builder to swap in terms matched to the group you teach

  • Work the wall into instruction as the file suggests: point to words as you use them, and have students define them or nominate new ones

Skills covered

  • PE vocabulary exposure - students see, hear, and define the PE and health terms posted letter by letter in their teaching area.

  • Word-wall interaction - the included steps direct students to define displayed words and propose new PE-related words for the wall.

  • Display customization - teachers build color-matched additional words in the PowerPoint builder and post them alongside the originals.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How are custom words added to the wall?

Through the included PowerPoint word-builder: open a color frame, remove the placeholder text, and type the new word, then print, laminate, and post it. The frames repeat the main file's colors so additions match the display, and the builder's Courier New font can be swapped if you download the main file's BD Cartoon Shout font for an exact match.

How many display words come with each letter?

Six per letter across the alphabet, with X and Y carrying three each - the two exceptions the creator's intro page spells out.
