PE At Home Resources

What’s up students and parents! 

I hope everyone is staying safe out there and I will miss teaching you in PE class while we are not at school, but the good news is you already have all the skills, tools and knowledge you need to keep your body healthy. 

I hope you can use all that we’ve learned in PE this year to stay active each day and if it’s safe and the weather is nice you could even try to get outside and play in your yards to keep yourselves active. 

I’ve included some daily workouts for you to try out and also linked up a ton of resources and activities that you can check out if you get bored or need a fun activity to do. 

If you want, you can have your parents tag me on Twitter or Instagram @thePEspecialist if you are working on any of these activities, I’d love to connect with you and see what you are up to. 

Stay Safe, Have Fun and Keep Yourself Active!

If you have any of the equipment below (frisbee, ball, jump rope, balloon etc), you can practice reviewing or working on any of the skills that we’ve learned in PE class this year. 

• Jump Rope: If you have a jump rope, you can review some of the Single Jump Rope Tricks we learned in PE, or if you have a sibling or family member you could even try out some of the Partner Tricks we learned
• Throwing and Catching:  If you have space in your yard and it’s safe to go outside, try to practice throwing and catching with a family member with a ball or a frisbee
• K-1: Underhand Throwing (ball)
• 2-5: Overhand Throwing (ball)
• How to throw a Frisbee
• Striking a Balloon (awesome activity for K-2nd Grade) 
• Blow up a balloon and practice striking it with different items in your house (or different body parts)
• What is the hardest item or body part to control the balloon with?  What’s your record for the most number of hits without moving your feet?
