Topic:

PE

 P.E With grateful thanks to Rachel Bown- ‘Bown to be different’ for all the following activities

Activity Sheet Six : Two more fun activities for you to enjoy with your household.

Take some photos to show your friends & family how well you are doing & what fun you are having being active.

Safety- try to move anything that you could break or trip over out of the way. Make sure your shoe laces are tied up & you have a drink ready.

The ‘Getting Dressed’ Challenge : You will need 5 t-shirts or 5 hats or 5 scarves. You could try this on your own, but it would be even more fun to try this activity as a race.   

*Lay the items of clothing around the house or garden

*’On your marks, get set, go!’ Move to each item & put it on

*When you have put the 5^th t-shirt, hat or scarf on stop the clock. How did you do? Take a photo!

Other ideas :

*Ask a family member to stand at one end of the room/garden

*Put your hats & scarves in a pile as far away from them as you can.

*’On you marks, get set, go!’ Pick up one item & take it to your family member. Put it or tie it on them.

*Go back & collect another item. Repeat until there are no items left. Stop the clock.

*Could you race against other family members?
