Get outside and run for 15 minutes. (5 minutes, 10 minutes, an hour…whatever you’re feeling. Enjoy some fresh spring air)
Then, from your front step, look around. Find one thing you can see for each letter of the alphabet. (Use your imagination for the harder letters and think about what COULD be there if it was a different day or time)

Handstand hold/attempt => handstand walk or bear crawl => alligator crawl
Crab walk => forward roll => 3 cartwheels

Then:
One-word story
Each person in the room helps narrate a story but one word at a time! Come up with a quirky story title or theme and let the fun begin! Simplify the game by narrating the story one sentence at a time instead of one word at a time.
Hockey themed warm up
Set up: 3-5 cones random distances apart, hockey net, hockey stick and a ball
3 Rounds
Start with 30s sprinting on the spot. Pick up the stick and stick handle to the end of the course. When you get to each cone, “fall on the ice” (Burpee) get up and keep running to the next cone. Sprint on the spot for 30s and then run back to the start “falling” at each cone again. Score on the net.
