Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page Activity: Indoor/Outdoor “Basketball” All you need is a bucket and a rolled-up sock (or a small, light ball). Each player takes a turn at throwing the sockball into the bucket. When a player scores, they must take a step back and throw again until they miss. The player who shoots the ball in the bucket from the furthest distance away wins. If you would like, you can also incorporate “HAWKS” into your game. If you throw and get it in, take a step back. If you throw and miss, start to spell “HAWKS” and give yourself an H. If you score again, take a step back. If you miss again, add an “A” to your “HAWKS” word. Have fun! Tuesday, April 21st Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page Activity: The Pillow High Jump (make sure to clean-up after you have played this game) Gather a number of pillows in your house. Practice jumping with both your feet next to each other at the same time (not one foot ahead of the other foot). For balance, lift your arms above your head. Start by jumping over one pillow. Add another pillow and jump over those two pillows by keeping a proper format and NOT knocking over the pillow(s). If they are not knocked over, add another pillow. Continue and see how many pillows you can SAFELY add and jump over. If you would like to add another fun challenge…head outside and practice pretending you have a hurdle. Watch this video https://safeYouTube.net/w/Oao6 and complete the suggested ideas. Here’s the challenge about completing this activity…you likely don’t have hurdles at home, and that’s okay! PRETEND you are doing the activities with a hurdle. You could place a line on the ground and imagine it was a raised hurdle. Just, have fun! Wednesday, April 22nd: EARTH DAY!! After completing the following lesson, take yourself for a lovely Earth Day walk. Look around and enjoy all the beautiful mountains, trees, flowers, and water areas we have in Chilliwack! Thinking About Feelings Today, we’re going to start by looking at some feelings. The following video shows very general, but important emotions. Watch the video below, and then discuss the following questions: - How did each of these situations make the characters feel? - Could some of the feelings been shown/felt differently? - How would you have felt in these situations? (The same as the character, or maybe a different emotion than them?) - Brainstorm and discuss some more emotions. Identify emotions that were NOT in the video.

Thanks for your great work! Thursday, April 23rd Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page. Activity: Yoga Ed, Week 1! Find a quiet and peaceful area. This is an introduction to a yoga group. There will be a piece of this each week for the next number of weeks. This is a great activity to start your day with! Yoga For Beginners: https://safeYouTube.net/w/aYm6 Friday, April 24th Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page. Activity: Outdoor Walk and Obstacle Course **This can also be done inside if it's yucky weather. If it’s a beautiful day, start this activity by going for a nice, long walk inside your house. If you see some items to build an outside obstacle course, safely collect it, and get ready to create! If it's a yucky day, walk around your house and find safe items to create an obstacle course. When making the course, you can use materials in your yard, from your walk, or from inside. Now, time to create an obstacle course! Here are some examples: Climb under a lawn chair, jump over a rock and run to the fence. Place sticks or rocks down to make an obstacle course, put down some of your toys and jump, jump, jump a number of times in a row. Enjoy building your creation! Alternatives If you see something and you’d like to change it…change it! Perhaps some days are perfect for trampoline time, a bike-ride, skipping, or working on a busy task. You are welcome to participate in those as your physical activities for the day! Comments are closed.
