Flip Decks are interactive, card flipping, fitness games. They are perfect for all the crazy situations we'll find ourselves teaching in this year:
- Virtual PE
- Socially Distanced PE
- PE in a Classroom
- Warm Ups
- Icebreakers
- Brain Breaks
- Recess
- Home school
All you need is a screen.
How to Play
From the card screen, pick a card (or call on a player to pick a card). Click on that card and you'll see an action for the class to perform. They'll perform that activity until the card screen pops up again.

Flip Deck - Live Virtual PE version
I plan on using Flip Decks all year for a variety of skills. Here's an example of the Just Dance version of Flip Deck.
And we all know PE stands for Panda Express... So there had to be a PE version of the game.
And perfectly themed for upcoming holidays.
Just Dance Halloween Flip Deck
I highly recommend this playlist to go with it!
Acting like super heroes and video game characters really gets the blood pumping!

My youngest students love moving like animals. You can also play this one on YouTube, although I click the cards for you.

Ways to use Flip Decks
Using other teachers' materials can be an amazing supplement to your teaching. And it doesn't have to feel lazy. Here are some ways you can use Flip Decks and still be the teacher.
- Apply it to whatever standards you're trying to meet
- Talk about the benefits of this exercise
- Be the hype person and encourage 🔥 effort
- Do the activity with them. Let them see you do it.
- Come up with modifications for students who are struggling (or for the ones who are breezing through it).
How to Use Flip Decks
The best way to use Flip Decks is with a PLAY subscription. You'll have unlimited streaming access to every Flip Deck as well as every other Be Well Played game. The games run as web apps in any browser on any device, even mobile phones. With a School Membership, you can even send your students a link so they can play on their own time.
Another way to use Flip Decks is by downloading the PowerPoint (and Keynote for Mac) files below. All downloads are fully customizable. Want to replace any image with yourself? Go for it (*not available on some Flip Decks... read the item description to be sure). Every purchase comes with a Keynote and PowerPoint presentation so you can use it on Macs (even iPads) and PCs.
The download will be sent to your email. Note: they are not designed to be used in Google Slides. If you want to send links to your students, check out the PLAY subscription.
