Here is another Mark Twain kindergarten favorite ... Red Light, Green Light!

You'll need a grown-up or sibling to help you.

• If you have construction paper (or you can even use crayons to color signs), make a red sign, green sign and yellow sign. OR just plan on one person SAYING the colors.

• One person will 1) determine the movement to get across designated area (I've included some ideas here.); and 2) what color lights.

• Remember to listen carefully and follow the directions (stopping on red, going slow on yellow, etc.). The winners are always the people who follow the rules.

You'll need help from a grown-up for this activity. In P.E., we love to do obstacle courses. Now, it's your turn to set one up at home -- either inside or outside.

• Use chalk on the driveway or sidewalk to make a course. Create a curvy path to run on; circles to hop through; dotted lines to tiptoe through; etc. Be creative!

• Make one in your yard or open space in the house. Use things from home, like shoes, to make a path to weave through; create a jumping station; make a spot to practice somersaults.

It can be simple or elaborate -- you decide. Have fun!

Uno Fitness -- In this video, my son demonstrates how to play this exercise game. Each Uno card color represents an exercise and each number represents how many repetitions. Follow along and do the exercises with Owen as he draws five cards.

Feel free to make your own version of the game at home and play with family members. You can take turn drawing cards and doing the exercises. You can decide what exercise each color represents. Get creative and have fun!

Make your own basketball hoop.

My son and I had a great time making our own basketball hoop out of a cardboard shipping box. We've hung ours from my son's bedroom door and we've spent a lot of time taking shots with a Nerf ball. Here's the video we watched for directions.

Spend 30 minutes playing outside.

(Just remember to maintain social distancing.)

• Get some fresh air.

• Run around.

• Ride your bike.

• Practice dribbling a basketball.

• Practice kicking a soccer ball.

• Take a walk.

• Have someone blow bubbles and your job is to chase them and pop as many as you can.

• Play catch with a family member.

• Go on a scavenger hunt walk.

Broad-Standing Jump and Leaping Jump

You will need: 1) a tape measurer or yard stick; 2) chalk. You are going to practice jumping -- a standing broad jump and a running leap. Watch the demonstration video for a full explanation.

> Have a grown-up use the chalk and tape measurer to create a jumping course. My course is 9 feet, measured in 1-foot increments.

> From the starting line, practice first while standing stationery and letting pumping your hands to help get momentum for your jump. This is called a standing broad jump. See how far you can jump, measuring where your first foot landed. Email me your results!

> Then try taking a running start (but jump once your feet reach the starting line). Make sure to watch where your first foot lands to see how far you jumped. Email me your results!

Chalk Activity Course

If you have chalk, I'd love for you to create an outdoor activity course like the one I made. View the video to watch my son demonstrate. Do it multiple times. Invite a family member to try it. Have fun!
