Below are some other ideas you may want to try for the week! I encourage you to get at least 30 minutes of active play 4-5 times this week.
 
K-1st:
Make an obstacle course! Go outside to your driveway/sidewalk and make a fun obstacle course using chalk.  Be creative by adding in some jump rope, basketball, or anything else you can think of for your course and it'll be so much fun! Post on twitter so we can see your awesome ideas and how creative you are! 
 
2nd-3rd:
Look in your garage to see what games and equipment you could use to create your own at home PE game! Come up with rules and play it with the whole family.  
 
4th-5th: 
Grab your family and basketball to play a fun game! It can be a small basketball game or a friendly shooting competition! Don't let your parents show you up! Show of your amazing skills!  If you don't have a basketball or a basketball goal then go for a family bike ride around the neighborhood.
