The Discovery Family Fitness Challenge
We are so disappointed that we cannot have the Discovery Sports event in school this year 😞... However, we can enjoy this event right in our homes with a Discovery Family Fitness Weekend!🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♂️⚽🏸🤸🏼♂️🤸🏾♀️⛹️♀️⛹🏿♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏾♀️
We will be sharing some suggestions for home-based activities for parents and children to enjoy together on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st March through the class forums. Some quick suggestions, for now, might include:
an egg and spoon race (boiled eggs may be a good idea!),
a sack race using pillowcases, an obstacle course built from soft furnishings found around the house,
a relay race if you have a large compound to make use of,
a squats or planks challenge,
skipping rope, ball games, a dance off ... These are just a few to start to think about.
How we will all participate:
Step 1: Children and staff can put on their Discovery t-shirt and some sports gear for the Family Fitness activities.
Step 2: Do some fun sports or exercise at home (parents, children and Discovery staff can all get involved).
Step 3: Take lots of photos, or even videos, and share them on your class group.
Step 4: Check out our social media for a variety of photos in the following days!
