Teaching And Home Schooling Ideas

We played hopscotch yesterday. Not sure we've ever played it before. Thomas was doing a reading comprehension about hopscotch so afterwards we went into the yard and drew the hopscotch and played the game. Drawing the hopscotch is good for numbers and drawing squares! Playing the games is great exercise - jumping, hopping and balancing to pick up the stone! We laughed and had lots of fun. If you want to add an extra learning element then you could practise maths or spellings by answering a question before you pick up the stone or before you have your turn. A golden oldie we had forgotten about.

PE lesson with Miss Welch - Lesson 1.  This lesson has a warm up, 10 exercises (eg star jumps, windmill, burpees, plank etc) and a cool down. Takes about 17 minutes so you could start the morning with this or fit it into a break to re-energise.

I've named this the 4 marker challenge!  Use 4 cones or 4 old cloths as a marker.  Set the 4 markers a metre apart from each other some distance from a start line and finish line.  You could use a marker for start and finish lines.  From the start line run to marker one and back, then run to marker two and back, run to 3 and back then 4 and back, then first to finish line is the winner.  If only one child doing it you could time them to get quicker each day.  You can adapt this activity. Eg a) Run to marker 1 and back repeat b) Hop to marker 1 and back repeat c) Use a football and dribble to marker one and back d) Football kick ball to marker 1 and back repeat e) Bounce ball to marker 1 and back f) throw tennis ball at marker 1 and back g) throw tennis ball in air repeatedly as running to marker 1 and back h) if you have a hockey stick dribble hockey ball  to marker 1 and back I) shoot hockey ball to marker 1 and back.
