Pre-Movement Challenge

To the song Bring Sally Up, perform planks. On the lyrics “Bring Sally Up” go up into a plank hold. On the lyrics “Bring Sally Down” rest. Continue for as long as you can. You can substitute squats or burpees for added challenge!

Then:

Set out a tray of about 10 random items from around your home.

Give your child 1:00 to study the tray. Then, have them perform ONE round of the workout. While they are not looking, remove 1-2 items from the tray and have them tell you what is missing after each round of the workout.

Continue this for 10:00.

2 Wall Walks (Place your hands on the floor and walk your feet up the wall)

-Hands start on the ground near your feet, walk your hands out to full plank, hold for 10s, then walk your feet in to meet your hands. Continue that movement across the room for 3 minutes. Remember your hands and feet do not move at the same time. This movement is a cognitive challenge of its own for younger children!

Then, read the following paragraph out loud or have your child read it independently. Immediately after reading, perform the workout. After the workout, ask your child the True/False questions regarding the story you just read.

One player is Odd. So they get 1,3,5,7,9

Players alternate turns placing numbers in the squares to get a sum of 13. You may get a sum of 13 horizontally, vertically or diagonally and you may use the same number more than once.

4 Rounds:

200 m run

In the picture attached below, travel from start to finish along the lines to get the largest total at the bottom. Complete the operation given on each line. Keep a running total. Do not travel over a line more than once. Try a couple different paths to see what total you can get. This is a great group activity. Challenge the participants to find the largest total.
