PE May 11-15

Virtual Field Day Week!!!

Field day is going to be virtual this year! How do you do virtual field day?! Well let me tell you… I am going to give you a list of activities that you can do at home. You don’t even have to do them all. But if you complete this virtual field day challenge, you will receive a certificate!

● Some are indoor activities and some are outdoor activities.

● Design a scorecard of the activities you have chosen to do. You can make this however you would like to, be creative! Just make sure you include the activities you chose and circle or check them off as you complete them.

● There will be an option of 28 activities.

● You can choose 15 of the 28 activities to complete. You can do the activities whenever you would like throughout the week! I encourage you to do a few each day.

● When you are finished completing your 15 tasks and have made your scorecard, have your parents email the picture of you with your certificate to Coach G. at thomas.gabrielle@sumnerschools.org

● Try to complete these activities during the week of May 11-15. If you need more time, that is okay!

● When your parents send me the picture of you with your completed scorecard, I will send back a certificate to print off and write your name on!

● Have fun and good luck!
