Monday, May 25th Warm-Up: The following are choices for warm-ups, you do not need to do this entire list. - Option 1: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page. - Option 2: Visit the Yoga Weekly page - Option 3: It’s BINGO time! Visit the ECE BINGO webpage. You can cross off ONE Bingo item warm-up/activity each day. - Option 4: Visit the Alphabet Warm-Up page and stretch through some words you create! Activity: Start by seeing if you can make the actions of each Frozen 2 character! Frozen 2: Make your Move https://safeYouTube.net/w/ldPG Today, you will have four options, choose one you would like to do: 1. Create a dance to one of your favourite songs. Pick a song, choose a bunch of different moves, and try to learn/memorize your own routine. This will take you a bunch of practice! I definitely suggest you listen/practice about three times before you do your ‘final’ movements OR perform to your family. 2. Practice the following movements when passing. You can use socks, a soft ball, or any other safe item.
3. If you have one at home, practice throwing and catching your frisbee. If you’d like, you can pretend that you are doing a version of golf with your frisbee. Set out a number of “Golf Holes” (no actual holes required), and count how many throws it takes to get to your new ‘Golf Hole.” 4. If you have them at home, I suggest you play Bocce Ball! If it is raining, roll up your socks, and play bocce inside! Tuesday, May 26th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see Monday, May 25th for reminders).

Optional Activity: In today's EASE work package, there are a number of physical activity suggestions. Some suggestions include physical movements to relax. This would be a nice way to start your day inside...fingers crossed it will get warm and sunny in the afternoon! IF you would like some more movement suggestions, check out PE with Joe! This is his general page, and you can select a recording he is doing today, or one he did before. He can be funny! The Body Coach TV/PE with Joe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ Thursday, May 28th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see Monday, May 25th for reminders). Activity: Zoo Crew Actions Complete each of these, and invent your own animals. Frogs Jump (jump up and down) Camels Clump (walk-in place with heavy feet) Worms Wiggle (wiggle whole body) Spiders Jiggle (move arms up and down). Rabbits Hop (hop in place) Donkeys Clop (stomp both feet). Lions Stalk (walk-in place with both hands and feet on the floor). Now, it’s time for you to create! Think about some items of YOUR choice…maybe your favourite animals, hobbies, LEGO characters, sports/games you enjoy (soccer, hockey, dance, skipping), playground time, swings, or many other topics. Next, think about some movements you can link to some of your brainstormed items! Perhaps, you can even invent the actions, and try to get someone in your house guess what you’re pretending to be! Here’s an example of mine: One day, I was visiting the volcano, Mount St. Helens! Just as I got there, it erupted a tiny bit (true story)!! So, I’m going to make an action where I’m pretending to be a volcano erupt (moving my arms up as I jump up high) Have fun creating so many actions! Friday, May 29th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see Monday, May 25th for reminders). Activity: Scavenger Hunt Today, you can create your own Scavenger Hunt or choose a suggestion I’ve attached. When you head out to be a master scavenger, you can choose any type of physical movement (walk, run, bike ride, scooter, skip). I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a sunny day! Here are some suggestions. Definitely change them to fit your neighbourhood: - spot someone walking (not your team) - a person playing basketball - a clover - an eagle, blue-bird, robin, hummingbird (you choose your favourite) - a pink car - a tractor - the number 9 - a white rock - Mount Cheam (this will only be seen on a sunny day) - a soccer ball - a yellow flower - a green truck - an apple tree - a stop sign - a playground If you would like to use an already completed Nature Scavenger Hunt, you can choose one of these:

Today and tomorrow, you’re going to train to be a ninja! Now, it will take a lot of practice, a bunch of imagination, some creation, and of course…safety! After Monday and Tuesday are all done, you’ll be the kindest professional Ninja’s I’ve ever met! If you’re wondering…what does Ms. Lyon want us to do to be a Ninja?? Right below, you will find some suggestions. PLEASE use your safety, but also...use your best imagination to create some ninja skill ideas. Tomorrow, you’ll be doing this again, but, maybe you want to change your route, add to it, make it harder, etc! If you want, you can even do your Ninja course multiple times each day! You’ll notice that your practice makes you a faster and faster Ninja! I suggest making your course outside if the weather is nice! Here is one video suggestion, but there are many, many more online: https://safeYouTube.net/w/Q1bC Here are some other Ninja Route ideas/suggestions: - Use your pool noodles to make hurdles - Make yourself an obstacle course to speed through (around cans, frisbees, golf clubs, etc) - Place four paper plates down. Two are for your hands, two for your feet. Make your body move from your decided ‘start line’ to an ‘end line.’ In order to move, you have to slide your hands forward, then pulls legs/feet on plates up to meet your hands on the plate. Continue until you’ve made it to your end line. - Safely climb up your chain fence and down. - Place green painters tape on a wall. Make it lower than your height. If you do a lower height, you could do a wall plank or wall squat, but, make yourself move across the line doing those! - Place a ladder or skipping ropes down, make yourself move through them using a double foot jump. - Cut the bottom of cardboard boxes out, crawl through those or a cloth tunnel. - Create a move over/under area (can use noodles to go on top of the chair, or on the support under a chair). - SO many more. Brainstorm, Google, YouTube! These are just a few I brainstormed, and you can do it too! Anything you make is awesome! Tuesday, May 12th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see Tuesday, May 5th for reminders). Activity: Ninja Day 2! Repeat Monday. You can definitely change your course from yesterday! Try new things! If you’d like, you can time yourself and see how fast you can complete your whole Ninja course! You do not have to do this…I like safety and fun as the #1 priority. Here’s a little tip…after you’re all done your Ninja time, make sure you’re being verrrrry good at correctly and kindly putting all your items away. Your parents will be very appreciative of that!
