Hello from PE Games
Why we're building a games-and-lessons app for PE teachers, and what 'building in the open' looks like here.
Why we're building a games-and-lessons app for PE teachers, and what 'building in the open' looks like here.
Every PE teacher has had the moment.
Class walks in. Nothing planned. Shed's a mess. Maybe the lesson you'd set up for outside got rained out. Maybe the equipment you needed walked off somewhere over the weekend. Maybe you just ran out of runway between the staff meeting and the bell.
You need a game. A good one. Right now.
That moment is what PE Games is built for.
PE Games is the app for PE teachers. Three things, in one place.
A library of teacher-trusted games. Chasing, relay, reaction, forming groups, team building, ice breakers, swim, initiatives — filtered by year level, equipment, and space. When you just need a game, you don't need a wizard.
An AI Game Generator. When the library doesn't have quite what you want — equipment you actually have, a year level you actually teach, a theme that fits the unit — the generator bangs out a fresh one in seconds. Rules, setup, variations. Ready to run.
An AI Lesson Planner. When you need the whole thing — warm-up, main activity, cooldown, learning outcomes, curriculum alignment — the planner writes the full lesson in one tap. Pick your topic, year level, duration, curriculum (AU, US, UK, NZ, Canada, IB), and teaching approach. Done.
All of it lives on your phone. Works on the drive in. Saves everything to your library.
Teachers, not theorists. Every game and prompt is grounded in a real gym, a real class, a real timetable. We'd rather ship a game you can teach tomorrow than a framework you'll never use.
On the go. The planning window is the drive to school, the gap between Period 3 and Period 4, the Sunday night couch session. The app has to work in those windows or it doesn't work at all.
Save everything. Your library is yours. Built over a term, used for years.
This is where we'll post when we ship something — new features, design decisions, things we're learning from teachers in the gym, things that didn't work. If you've got a PE teacher's wish list, we'd love to hear it.
