You activity today is called the "invisible dumbbell stations". I will include an attachment on this post to the activity directions. You will complete each station for 30 sec - 2 minutes, based on your preference, and then you can rotate to the activity on the next card. I recommend at least 4 rotations of each exercise, but you can complete the circuit as many times as you like!

Or...

You can get outside and skip 3-5 laps around your house. if you can get around your house, go out to the end of the driveway and back as many times as you like to get your heart rate up!

Good Morning everyone!

Last week's weekly wellness challenge went great! We had a ton of great submissions, and it was great to see everyone being able to get out and get moving!

Here is this week's challenge. I want you to try and create your own "target game". By definition, that means a style of game where you will be sending (tossing, throwing, kicking, rolling, etc.) an object (ball, frisbee, sock ball, whatever you have!) towards a target while practicing accuracy. The guidelines are simple, you can use anything you have around the house, either indoors or outdoors. You can create the game so that it is an individual competition, or a game that you can play with siblings or family members. The game-play can be anything you want it to be. The only rule is that you need to have some sort of scoring system to either score against an opponent, or score for yourself.

For your submission, I would like to see you give a brief description of your game, and how the scoring system works. Also, it would be great to see you completing the game you have created! Be resourceful folks, and lets see what we can come up with!

I am hoping to get EVEN MORE submissions this week, and I am also hoping to be able to do another prize draw at the end of the week!

Be creative, stay safe, and have FUN!

Grade 9:
Our Phys. Ed lead shared a great workout of the day yesterday, so I thought I would challenge you with it today. Its called the deck of cards workout. Here's how it works:
You are going to designate an exercise with each suit. For today it will be as follows:
Hearts = Squats
Spades = Push ups
Diamonds = Mountain Climbers
Clubs = Jumping Jacks
You are going to flip one card at a time. What ever suit you flip is the exercise you do, and the number on the card will be the number of reps of that exercise you do. Jack, Queen, King are all 10, and if you flip a Joker it will be 11. For example, if you flip a 7 of hearts, you'll do 7 squats, etc.
This is a great activity because you can challenge yourself as much as you want. You can do a few cards, or you can do the whole deck (I recommend the whole deck).
Or...
You can get outside for the activity of your choosing!

Here are today's suggestions for your daily PE/Wellness activities. Today's theme is simply... DANCE!!
Dancing is a great way to get moving, increase your heart rate, and start to link simple fundamental movements into some more complex and advance movement chains. So today, all students from Kindergarten all the way to grade 9 are encouraged to cut loose and dance to 3 of their favorite songs! If you are looking for some inspiration I will include a link to the "Just Dance" youtube channel. They have tons of simple choreographed dances designed to get you moving! If dancing isn't "your thing" give yourself 10 or 15 minutes to quietly stretch and reflect.
Or...
