Primary Physical Education

Did you know that kids need 60 minutes per day of physical activity to keep them healthy? Create your own activity log! Tracking your progress will help keep you motivated and kids love to see what they have accomplished. 

Write/draw to show the physical activities that you do each day of this week.  How long did you do each activity for? Your goal should be to reach 60 minutes of physical activity each day! Two ideas to track your progress and are to fill a clock or create a simple chart. Feel free to come up with your own original way to track your fitness achievements.

If you are looking for some activity ideas, you could:

  • Walk (How many blocks?  How many steps?)
  • Ride your bike/scooter (Don’t forget your helmet!)
  • Skip (Practice your single & double bounce, practice skills from last year or try  a new skill, do an endurance challenge & see what level you can get to: every 10 seconds = 1 level, so level 6 is 1 minute of continuous skipping)
  • Run (Try your different paces; pig, horse, cheetah)
  • Dance (Choose a song that lifts your spirits & move to the groove!)
  • Play catch with someone in your household (overhand, underhand, Go For Gold!)
  • Tabata (Ask your parents to help you find a tabata song.  Can you remember some of the activities we did for our Olympic training? E.g., Burpees, plank shoulder touches, jumping jacks, crab toe touches)
