SKILLS REVIEW
If you have any of this equipment (frisbee, ball, jump rope, balloon etc), you can practice reviewing or working on any of the skills that we’ve learned in gym class this year.
- Jump Rope: If you have a jump rope, you can review some Single Jump Rope Tricks, or if you have a sibling or family member you could even try out some of the Partner Tricks
- K-2nd: If your learning to jump rope for the first time – Check out this video for some helpful tips
- 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
- 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?
- Here’s an example of this balloon striking activity
- Basketball: If you have a basketball or playground ball, practice some of the ball handling drills and challenges that we worked on in gym this year.
- 4 or 2 Square
- If you have a playground ball and a garage or driveway you can play a game of 4 or 2 Square with a family member, draw a court with some chalk and check out this post if you don’t have the rules to play the game https://www.thepespecialist.com/foursquare/
- Cup Stacking
