Elementary P.E.

While our school is closed, you get to have P.E. at home! 

First, you can teach your family some of the movements we do:

• Skipping
• Galloping
• Bounding
• Kicking a ball – kick a ball around your yard
• Dribbling – if you have a bouncy ball and a place to bounce
• Throwing
  • Stand sideways
  • Make a muscle
  • Step with your front foot in the direction you are throwing
• Catching
  • Catch objects with your hands, not your body
  • Make a diamond with your thumbs and index with you catch
  • If you are catching something low, your pinkies should touch when you catch with your hands.

Play some games:

• Basketball with a laundry basket and a pair of socks for the ball
• Bob the Rock
• If your family is big enough, Head Honcho

Get moving!

• Go on a walk or ride bikes with your family.
• Take your dog on a walk or a run.

• Help your parents with some gardening or yardwork.
• If you have the right spot, draw a hopscotch and play.
• Build an obstacle course in your yard and practice running through it.
• Put on some music and dance.
