Soccer/ Kicking
You will need a ball of some sort. If you don’t have a ball, you will need something that will roll or a stuffed animal.
Kicking in Self Space
You always want the ball touching your foot
In soccer, you cannot touch the ball with your hands, only your feet
Use the inside of your feet to try and tap the ball back and forth in a small space
Work on Hitting a Safe Target
Choose a spot on a wall, against a couch/chair, or something. Make sure nothing is breakable. Then lightly kick the ball to hit the target. If you have toilet paper rolls or cones you could try to kick to a smaller target
Moving While Dribbling
Now you can work on dribbling to a location and back. Pick a point in your house, dribble to it and come back to the screen.
Do challenges, how fast can you get back?
How many touches can you get it?
Juggling
Try and hit the ball with your feet in the air. Keep the ball in the air without using hands or another body part. Keep the ball below your head and under control.
Vitamins and Vitamin D
We need vitamins to live healthy lives!
Without vitamins our bodies are more susceptible to illnesses such as the common cold and the flu.
There are many different vitamins like A, B, C and D
Today we are talking about Vitamin D because it is very important to make sure we are getting enough.
Vitamin D keeps our bones and teeth strong and also helps protect us against illness and even improves our mood!
We can get Vitamin D through many sources; the foods we eat, daily vitamins and even through sunlight!
Sunlight is one of the top ways we get Vitamin D which can become harder in the winter months, like December, when the days are shorter.
Foods like low-fat milk and other low-fat dairy foods like yogurt and cheese are good sources of Vitamin D too!
Learn more about how important it is to get the right amount of vitamins by watching this Vitamin song
After watching the video, pick one vitamin you learned about and draw a picture showing how and what parts of the body it helps (ex: vitamin C helps our gums).
