Your Personal Challenge - Calmness
Be calm
Breathe In, Breathe Out
Listen to the Breaths you take
Listen to the Sounds around you
How to achieve calmness
Choose a time when you want to take a ‘time out’ or a break
Look at the diagrams on the sheet
In comfortable clothing try to copy a pose
Once you are comfortable in that pose…..close you eyes….breathe in and out,…..then listen to the sounds around you
What can you hear?
Concentrate on those sounds
When you feel relaxed and calm…gently return back to standing

Learn to Perform a Forward Roll
Safety First!
Whenever you are practising your gymnastic skills please make sure you have enough space to perform; no coffee tables in the way to bump your legs on! You also need to think about the surface you are performing on; a carpeted floor or soft grass is far preferable to a hard kitchen floor!
Full instructions are with the diagrams on the left.

Hopscotch
Draw a hopscotch design on the ground with chalk. The squares should be large enough to fit one foot and to make sure that a stone thrown into the square will not bounce out too easily. The "10" section shown here as a rest or stop area. This is where you can take a moment to turn around and/or regain your balance.
Throw a flat stone or similar object (small beanbag, shell, button, plastic toy) to land on square one. It has to land inside the square without touching the border or bouncing out. If you don't get it within the lines, you lose your turn and pass the stone to the next person. If you do get it, however, go on to the next step.
Hop through the squares, skipping the one you have your marker on. Each square gets one foot. Which foot you start with is up to you. You can't have more than one foot on the ground at a time, unless there are two number squares right next to each other. In that case, you can put down both feet simultaneously (one in each square). Always keep your feet inside the appropriate square(s); if you step on a line, hop on the wrong square, or step out of the square, you lose your turn
Pick up the marker on your way back. When you get to the last number, turn around (remaining on one foot) and hop your way back in reverse order. While you're on the square right before the one with your marker, lean down (probably on one foot still!) and pick it up. Then, skip over that square and finish up.
Pass the marker on to the next person. If you completed the course with your marker on square one (and without losing your turn), then throw your marker onto square two on your next turn. Your goal is to complete the course with the marker on each square. The first person to do this wins the game!
