Hi Everyone

There are lots of maths and language opportunities playing games

Why don’t you try playing some board games or card games together?

Why not try snakes and ladders, Junior monopoly, draughts, dominoes, playing cards ,skittles or make your own game up and share it on the school blog?

Here is a link for ideas on card games for children

Alternative to Movement – Some New and Familiar Activities

Leave a reply

Hi all,

I have added an alternative to Movement Activities for our children should you wish or prefer to use the below videos. All videos are from YouTube therefore you may be able to display them on your TV as opposed to smaller devices, should your home equipment allow this.

These short clips are representative of some of the short videos i used with our primary pupils last year. Many of our secondary pupils still really enjoy them and have been known to try to join in while they are passing Primary taking part in our PE hall. So please let them have a go and join in.

Please use them as you wish. You don’t need to do them all. This is just some alternative ideas which will provide some sense of recognition and familiarity to our children.

In particular some of these clips were used as opportunities to stretch and follow instructions for those children with particular movement limitations.

If i can help in any way in relation to PE, Movement and Outdoor Learning then please feel free to drop me an email.
