Remote Learning Physical education

I wanted to thank you all for your dedication to p.e. I hope you all had some fun with the activities while also working up a sweat. Physical education is very important to me and I believe it essential in life. Your physical and mental health depend on activity! Keep up the good work this summer. Remember to use the resources found on this page for your benefit. Below is a fun activity that involves the game Guess Who, one of my favorites. Have fun!

Below... All you need to play this game is another person, ball, and two cones. The cones can be any type of mark, even two peanut butter jars could work. I have attached the directions below. Let me know if you are able to see them clearly. Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed to keep me up to date with all the fun activities you have completed. Keep up the good work!

I discovered a very fun scavenger hunt that will challenge you to find different items around your own home. You will see the items on the screen then briskly walk to find each item as fast as you can. What was your fastest time? Was there any items that you could not find or didn't have?

Enjoy! 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️

First activity is Follow the leader dance. This is a fast paced follow the leader game that actually teaches rhythm and dance while also working up a sweat! I have trouble with rhythm so this activity was very good for me!

My kids love the game BOP IT!~ It is a listen-respond game, I am attaching a physically active version of BOP IT. You have to perform activities such as skip it, run it, jump it, etc. Be honest can you get through the whole video without missing a beat? Start over at the beginning if you perform the wrong action! How far can you get?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break! I enjoyed every second of sunshine that we had, I hope you did too! Below you will find one of my favorite activities! Spot the difference with a twist. You will be shown a series of pictures with a total of three differences. Can you spot them all? If so you will give yourself three points. The next slide will be exercises that you can complete based on the number of points you receive each round! Good Luck and have fun. Let me know what fun things you did over break! I got to golf and had a lot of fun!

I hope you had an amazing week and enjoyed some of the wonderful weather we had. Did you run or start the couch to 5k program? We had a very successful week running the mile. The fastest time was 6:11, Harley Booms in 3rd grade was the leader! Simply awesome. We officially completed the third nine weeks of school, thank you to all of you who continually send in completed activities! Spring break is right around the corner. Next Friday we will be off so this will be the last post until after break! ENJOY! This week I am linking a class favorite that you can do in any room of your house. Four corners, Easter edition.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had an amazing week! The weather for the next couple of days looks so awesome. Make sure to get outside and get some fresh air. In person learners will be completing the mile with in the next couple of weeks, weather depending. I am including a running program for you to start. Running is so good for the body and mind. Some students naturally love running and some do not. Usually those who do not enjoy running have low endurance. Do you know what endurance is?

You need to practice running just like any other skill. The more you practice, the easier running gets and the longer you can go with out getting out of breath!

When you run, your brain releases chemicals that naturally get you into a good mood!

Check out couch to 5K. This program really works and makes running enjoyable!

Have a fantastic week, enjoy the sunshine!!

HAPPY FRIDAY! The SUN is out and shining it is a beautiful day! I am linking a happy song that my kids and I dance to below! Enjoy. Your activity for this week is to play outside! Enjoy every day and get some fresh air. HAVE FUN!

My in-person learners and I received Lacrosse equipment. We have enjoyed learning all about the sport as it is new to me also. To stay up to date I would appreciate if you would click the link below and explore the rules of Lacrosse. When we can be together again, it will help to be on the same page!

HAPPY FIRST FRIDAY IN MARCH! I am so hoping to get some more sunshine and get outside in the near future! Some of you were having trouble opening up the March Activity document. Sorry! Follow this link instead of the calendar, https://darebee.com/programs/30-days-of-yoga.html?showall=&start=1. This link will provide you with a 30 day yoga challenge!

My kids and I tried the activity Spider Web at our house, they had such a good time and worked on throwing skills. All you need for the activity is newspaper and painters tape/masking tape! Pick a door in your house and stick long strips of tape from one side to the other. Over lap the tape so it looks like a giant spider web. Roll up newspapers (FLIES), and throw them at the web. Remember our critical elements of throwing, Point-Step-Throw. Throw with the same hand that your write with and step with the opposite foot! Have fun with this one and let me know how many newspapers you got to stick to the web! Ask an adult if the tape is o.k. to stick to the door before you do the activity!

Happy Friday! This is the first full week we have completed in a while! I hope it was a fantastic week for you! I am including an activity calendar for the month of March! Challenge yourself to complete the activities if you are looking to get active each day! This week I am inserting a really fun Rock, Paper, Scissors fitness video provided on YouTube! I think you will have fun with this video and also complete a great work out! Have a super weekend!

I hope you all had a safe and healthy Presidents Day weekend! For next week I am including an easy board game called the Color Dash Game. This game will get you moving while also giving motivation to move! What does the winner receive at your house? I will attach the game board below. Challenge the whole family to play this active board game!

Objective: Players DASH around the board collecting as many points as possible by completing exercises.

Equipment: You will need The COLOR DASH game board, 1 dice, 1 game piece per player (create your own), 1 water bottle per player, and a pad and pencil to keep score.

HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope you all got a chance to go out and play in the awesome snow delivered on Monday! My family and I made a 4 person snow igloo and went sled riding! It was so fun. Before the end of the year and while it is still cold and snowy out, I wanted to circle back to the MINUTE TO WIN it unit my family and I created. Visit my Youtube channel linked below to enjoy some of the MINUTE TO WIN IT challenges we completed. Can you come up with any of your own challenges? Have fun and have a fantastic weekend. Miss you all!

I am attaching a really fun youtube link to the classic game THE FLOOR IS LAVA. Use (safely) items in your home to lay out and when the song says THE FLOOR IS LAVA, get off the floor and onto safety! Be creative and try this game in different rooms! Everyone can join in on the fun!

Flashlight Scavenger Hunt! Try this one at night or in a dark room! Have someone hide a list of items and try to see how fast you can find them in the dark using just a flashlight! Set a timer and see what your fastest time is. You could also set a time limit to see how many items you can find on the list. How many of your senses did you find useful in this game?

The Daily Dare always gets me off to a good start! This week you are going to pretend you are me! Create a game, then share it! Make sure you have everything that is required to make a fun, safe, and active game for physical education. This can be harder than you think. If you have too much trouble coming up with your own game, include your favorite game that we play in class. HAVE FUN!

I also linked Fitness Deck in the announcement section if you would like to complete that or any other activity for the week! Thanks

How did you do with the DAILY DARE! Keep it going this week. Challenge yourself! Below are two really fun dances! Pick one of the two songs and try to master the dance! Dance is such a fun way to disguise a work out. Get moving and have fun!

I am posting a website below that I am challenging you to click on daily. It is only a challenge not a requirement! New year, New You. Let us get into great shape by completing a daily dare. The challenge will be different every day! Can you stick with it? I know I am going to try my hardest! Good Luck!

DANCE PARTY!!! You get to be the D.J! Create a playlist of approximately eight school appropriate songs and dance your work out. Eight songs equals about 30 minute of physical activity. The songs you pick for this lesson should be upbeat and have a fast paced tempo. There was many times in class so many of you requested songs to play, here is your chance to share with me. Send me your playlist that you create and I promise to listen! I love music and dance!

Jump Rope. So many great physical and mental benefits that go along with jumping rope! If you do not have one at home I am providing a DIY jump rope video. All you need are grocery bags! How COOL! I will also link a video of different jump rope activities. Do not get frustrated. Keep practicing and start off slow. This is a hard skill to master. I know you can do it if you stick to it. One rule of thumb for the perfect jump rope length- lay the jump rope down and step on the middle, pull straight up on the ends of the rope. They should end right at your under arms!

NAME THAT GAME. This activity was fun for me as I have played most of the old video games in the video! Throughout the clip, you will see an old video game, based on what you see try to figure out the name of the game. Follow along with the exercise of the name you picked! How many did you get correct? Have Fun!

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE! This game is a fitness based game. Two pictures will pop up at the same time, some items will be different, can you spot them? Depending on how many differences you find will determine what exercise you must complete! Have Fun!!

Below you will find two new fun activities to complete. No equipment necessary. I hope that you get some good laughs from This or That! Some of those animal videos had me cracking up. Do you have any pets? Have a great weekend! Enjoy every second!

So for this activity, find a quiet space and really give yourself a chance to relax and think about all the amazing people, places, and things you are thankful for this year! Some things I am thankful for is faith, family, friends, my amazing job, my house, Laughter, all of my students (past-present-future), and MUSIC! Have fun!

Check out this amazing GO NOODLE! This one is my daughter Alivia's favorite! Have Fun!

This is a great tool to make sure you are being active for at least 60 minutes a day!

Locate the clean up timer in the announcements section of this page. Set the timer for 2 minutes in each room of the house and see how fast you can clean that room! Challenge another family member in the house to clean up another room! Put items back where they are supposed to go! Helping out and getting fit! Have fun.

Directions for FITNESS CHARADES is listed in the announcements section! Have fun!!

PAC-MAN song below! You should remember this game from last year. Depending on how many people are playing will depend on how many ghosts (taggers) in the game. If it is just two people, make one person the tagger and one pac-man. Use sidewalk chalk or just go around rooms in your home around furniture. You could even go as far as to make your own Pac-Man maze! Remember that if you are tagged you must sit down, you are now a road block! You have to walk so that you will not run into anything. E-mail me if you need more directions! HaVe FuN!
