Hi everyone, hope you liked PE yesterday and ready for another activity today. Next are 3 games easy to follow you can do at home. Have fun.

Game 1: Pirate Ship

Roles : Chose a captain to give instructions to rest of players. All players start with 3 points. Every time a player makes a mistake loses 1 point. First to zero loses, change captain. Captains instructions are as follow:

Port – crew jump to the left (or stretch left arm).

Starboard – jump to the right (or stretch right arm).

Stern – Jump backwards (or stretch arms up).

Bow – jump forwards (or stretch arms forward).

Climb the rigging – pretend to climb a rope ladder.

Man overboard – one star jump (or move your knees)

Scrub the deck – crouching down, pretending to clean the floor (or lean forward, head or knees).

You can use as many instructions as you want from 2 to 7 to adapt your needs.

Game 2: Opposites

Roles:

Get a ball or some socks rolled in a shape of a ball. Stand in a circle with one person in the center who has the ball.

Center person says catch or drop when throwing the ball.

If catcher does incorrect movement they lose 1 of 3 points.

When you get to 0 change person in middle. You can also try new instructions – head ball, kick ball, “slap” ball…

Game 3: Bucket Rounders

Resources – 3 balls or rolled socks, a bucket, 4 markers (anything you can safely put on floor.

Roles:

1 batter, 1 or 2 fielders.

Bowler (Fielder) throws 3 balls to batter who can volley, bat or kick ball away.

Fielders and batter must not move until all 3 balls are out on field.

After third ball is played batter then runs around marked space trying to return to starting point before all 3 balls have been returned to the bucket.

Is the fielder job to return balls to bucket before batter returns to starting point.

Remember to keep yourself save and be aware of surroundings. Make shore you have a safe area to play and have fun.

Finally, time to relax!

Health and Wellbeing – I’m sure you are as excited as I am about coming back to school. Sometimes excitement can be a very big feeling and it can be hard to know whether to jump up and down, twirl around or just shout whoopeeeeee! To help make the feeling a little less…fizzy…it can be a good idea to put all that energy into a task. Have a look at this idea. You might not have all the bits and bobs you need to make a fancy jar but it would be a great idea to write down some of the things you are looking forward to doing when you get back to school. Go on, give it a go and bring them with you on Thursday and we can read them together.

Well it’s bye for now and just two more sleeps before we are all together again.
