The activities provided below for certain grades are suggestions only. You might find you want to do a different grade level activity as well as, or instead of your own. :)
Do as many of each move as you can for 45 seconds. Take a 15 second break in between.
Frog Hops
These are exactly what they sound like. Hop back and forth, like a frog. Depending on how much room you have, you may need to hop in one place.
Place your hands and feet on the floor. Your hips and bum should be in the air, higher than your head. On all fours take two steps forward and two steps back, then repeat.
Sink down into a low sumo squat and place your hands on the ground between your feet. Shuffle a few steps to the left and then back a few steps to the right. Maintain the squat and ape-like posture through the entire movement.
These are jumping jacks! Do as many as you can, arms and legs spread wide like a starfish!
Run in place, as fast as you can!
Sit with your knees bent and place your palms flat on the floor behind you near your hips. Lift your body off the ground and “walk” on all fours forward and then backward.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and stomp, raising your knees up to hip level, or as high as you can bring them up. Try to hit the palm of your hands with your knees.
Take some time to cool down slowly.
Rock - crouch low into a ball, touching hands to knees
Paper - stand straight, with your feet together and hands by your sides
Scissors - legs shoulder width apart and arms away from your sides
Jump into each movement - jump rock, jump paper, jump scissors and then say "shoot" and pick your final position (rock, paper, or scissors) to jump into.
Just like the game with your hands: rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock.
Play best 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 5. If there are several people in your house playing, the winner of the round can move on to find a new opponent of their choice, while the loser stays in their spot and waits for a new opponent to arrive.

Jog on the spot for 2 minutes as a short warm up.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDdrDBlN9T8 and try the first 5 exercises (squat jumps, knee tucks, plyo jacks, skater hops and split squat jumps).
Do each exercise 12 times and then stop to catch your breath before you move onto the next.
See how many times you can run through the 12 x 5 exercises!
Take some time to cool down slowly. Stretch out your calves, the front of your thigh (quadricep), back of your thigh (hamstring) and do some arm circles. These are some of the stretches that we did at the beginning of the year, or do some of your own.
Don't forget to drink water!
