Volleying Challenges

Week of June 1-June 5

This is our last week of school. I have put some ideas of things you could do this week below. Ultimately what I would like you to do this week is get outside!! Enjoy the nice weather (hopefully) do something you love that allows you to be active!

Fly a Kite - If it is a windy day, if you have a kite try and fly it!

Relay Races - Design some fun relay races for your family to try!

Fan Favorite

Week of May 25- May 29

This week I have posted a couple of videos for you to try. I have also posted the link to the Virtual Track Meet for anyone in our district to participate in.

FITNESS CHALLENGES

Week of May 18-May 22

This week I have posted a video with 3 challenges for you. In the video Ella demonstrates how to do the challenges. The challenges are - Push Up Shoulder Taps, Sit Ups While Moving an Object and Crab Kicks. Your challenge is to do these for 1 minute each and count how many you are able to do. If 1 minute seems too long, you may change it to 45 seconds or even 30 seconds. These are challenges so they shouldn't be easy! Email me and let me know how many you were able to do. Challenge a family member to see who can get the most or do these challenges throughout the week to see what the highest score is that you are able to get.

Bottle Flip Challenge

Week of May 11-May 15

This week I have posted a Bottle Flip Challenge. Your job is to find a water bottle, or something similar that you are allowed to flip, make sure it has liquid in it. Watch the video and follow along. For every 3 jumping jacks you get 2 bottle flips. You are trying to see if you can beat the score of the person in the video. You may change up the exercise from jumping jacks to something else you would rather do. Let me know what your record is for successful bottle flips! THIS WEEK I CHALLENGE YOU TO BE ACTIVE EVERY DAY! GET OUTSIDE EACH DAY OR DO A CHALLENGE INSIDE!

Take a look at the table below for some neat ideas of things to do to have Fun!

PE Twister

Week of April 13-April 17

This week your task is to follow along with the video in a version of PE Twister. This game has you working on your speed, reaction time, as well as being able to transition from a fitness skill to being able to recognize and comprehend the color or shape needing to be touched. You will need colored sheets of paper or white pieces of paper that you color or you could also draw different shapes on paper. You must tape these to a wall and you will need someone who can call the color or shapes out to you.

Level 1 - Stand in front of the wall and just listen to what is being called out and try to react as fast as you can

Level 2 - Stand in front of the wall and choose a fitness skill to perform while waiting for a color or shape to be called out

Level 3 - Stand in front of the wall and choose a different fitness skill to perform, this time the person helping will call out color or shape combinations and you must react and touch them in the order they are called

Card Fitness

Week of April 6-April 10

Watch the video as Ella and I show you how to play a version of Card Fitness. You can use a regular deck of cards or a deck of Uno cards. The following is the key to use when playing the game. The color of the UNO card or the suit of a regular card will dictate which exercise you will do and the number on the card will dictate the number of times you do that exercise. You may play by yourself or with a family member.
