Hello Kindergarten Families
We are so excited to be working with y'all for the rest of the year to keep you moving and healthy.
Each week we will put up some activities and a health related lesson for you to do with your kindergartner. You can do these everyday or as often as you want. If you have favorite lessons or activities, you can easily mix those in with the current week's activities. Kindergartners need to be moving for at least 60 minutes a day. That may sound like a lot but kids don't have to move for 60 minutes in a row. You can spread activity throughout the day.
Each week you will find:
A Warm Up
Activities
A Monthly Calendar of ideas to get moving
You can find all the Kindergarten PE lessons here. Each week, we will add a new lesson.

Activity - Hand & Foot Challenge
Activity - Hand & Foot Challenge
This fun activity requires paper, scissors, and a marker, pencil, or crayon.
You will need to trace the student's foot 8 times and his or her hand 8 times.
Allow the student to cut out his or her own hands and feet. Cutting takes practice kindergarten is a great time to practice cutting. You might assist your student by showing them how to hold and turn the paper, how to hold the scissors and how to remove large pieces of scrap paper to make cutting easier. Students will be jumping on the hands and feet so they do not need to be perfectly cut out!
If you have fun with this, we would enjoy seeing what you did. You can leave a video in the Flipgrid here.

How fast can you put all the items in the basket?
Challenge a family member.
Move the target further away.
Can the student throw the objects over her head with her feet and get them in the basket?
Make some math problems. If you start with ten objects and get seven in the basket, how many are outside the basket?
