Hello Kindergarten Families
We hope you find these lessons helpful and fun. 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.
You can find all the Kindergarten PE lessons here. Mix and match and redo favorites.

Activity - Practice Moving Skills
Activity - Practice Moving Skills
We have 7 basic locomotor skills we work on at school. These skills represent the foundations of human movement. Working on them is important for developing coordination and a general awareness of how we can move our bodies. Danny from Prime Coaching does a great job of explaining the movements in this video. Think of creative ways to have your student practice these movements throughout the day.
For example:
Gallop to the end of the driveway.
Skip around the room.
Hop while counting to 20.
Run and touch that tree and walk back.
Jump (with two feet) out of a hula hoop and into a hula hoop.
Side-Step around the room until the music stops.
Leap over something (a stuffed animal, a towel, a ditch)
Lesson on Feelings
Lesson on Feelings
Click here for the video.
This book explores the different feelings of the main character and how she chooses to express those feelings. After sharing the book, emphasize that there are lots of different emotions that we feel. It is normal to feel a variety of emotions. Ask your child to describe the different feelings of the main character and how the character expressed those feelings. There are no good or bad feelings, though some feelings make us feel better than others. When we recognize what we are feeling we are able to express them in a positive way.
