Let's keep active!

Welcome to our new online activity centre!

Hertford and Ware School Sports Partnership want to help you to be active whilst the coronavirus outbreak is keeping us all at home. We hope that adding any of these activities into your new daily routine will also add some extra fun!

The 2.6 challenge

This weekend was due to the be London Marathon; obviously it won't now be going ahead on the original date, 26th April. Instead people are encouraged to do any fun activity of their choice based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 eg Run 2.6 miles, skip 26 times, bench press 26 kilos – the choice is yours! And donate or fundraise to raise vital funds to help to save the UK’s charities.

Shark! - A game for 2 or more players

You will need: sheets of newspaper

How to play:

1. Place sheets of newspaper around your playing area, e.g. your garden, patio

2. Choose one person to be the shark.

3. The rest of the players have to run around in the area.

4. When the shark shouts the word ‘Shark’ all of the other players have to run away.

5. The only safe places are the ‘islands’ (sheets of newspaper).

6. Anyone caught by the ‘shark’ becomes the ‘shark’.


Rules:

· You can only stay on an island for 5 seconds.


Challenges:

· If you want to make this game a little bit more challenging, you could place some obstacles around so the runners have to avoid the obstacles whilst escaping from the shark.

You could fold the paper in half to make smaller islands.
