Phys. Ed. Activities for Tuesday, January 5th

Good Morning Le Roi Daniels!

I do hope that everyone enjoyed their break, and I can't wait to see everyone back in the gym starting next week. I've got 4 different lessons planned for you over this week - roughly half an hour per day. Students will remember that we aim to get one hour of physical activity each day, so feel free to run through things twice, or use previous posts in order to hit that target.

To start out today, I'd like to review some of the movements we've learned so far throughout the school year. All you'll need is a small area free from clutter and a deck of cards (if you don't have cards, no worries, as I've posted a link below that will generate random cards for you). These are all movements we've done in class before - try your best to remember them on your own, but I've included some hints in brackets to help out. You will draw one card, and do the movement associated with that card, which are listed below:

---

Step 1: Click on Random card generator: http://random-cards.com/ (if you do not have your own cards, click on "one random deck button)

Step 2: Look up what exercise goes along with that card

Step 3: Complete exercise listed. Try your best to remember the proper form on your own - we'll review them again once we're back in class!

Step 4: Take a short break, if you need it

Step 5: Repeat (draw another card!)

Ace: Jog on the spot for 30 seconds (or 60 steps)

2: 10 jumping jacks (perfect pencil to star form)

3: 10 knee push ups (flat hands and knees touching the ground, bend elbows until chest almost touches the ground, then push back up)

4: 10 deep squats (bend down, then pop up)

5: 10 jump squats (bend down, arms back, then jump and reach for the sky!)

6: Elbow plank for 15 seconds (elbows on the ground, rest of your body should be straight)

7: 10 toe-touches 

8: 10 star jumps (knees shoulder-width apart, jump and turn your body into a star, and land)

9: 20 arm rotations (10 per arm, slowly rotate your arm fully around your body)

10: 5 burpees (jump up, go into push-up position, then tuck back and repeat)

J: 20 hops on your right foot

Q: 20 hops on your left foot

K: Choose your favourite from the activities above

I challenge everyone to try and get through an entire 52-card deck throughout the day... think you can do it?

Hope this helped you keep moving during this Tuesday morning! Tomorrow we will be playing some throwing games around the house using rolled up socks and some other items!

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at tmjohnson@cbe.ab.ca should you have any questions at any time. 

Thanks,

Mr. Johnson
