My son loves soccer and dance, so we concentrate our physical education around them.
He has soccer once a week with a young friend of ours who comes to our house for an hour on Mondays. They do a warm-up, some coordination games with the ball, and then they play.
On Thursdays we do dance together: warm-up, across the floor movements, stretching and strengthening, bar work, and sequences.
Both classes are highlights in my son´s week. He gets a great work-out, sweats and has fun.
Sometimes, when our soccer teacher can't come, we do this activity that my son really enjoys :
It's a fun way to get a work-out while also developing skills in planning, memorizing, writing, and mapping.

Sometimes, when our soccer teacher can't come, we do this activity that my son really enjoys :
- He goes outside with a pencil and notebook
- He writes down a warm-up routine with words or pictures, (5 push-ups, 10 jumping jacks, 10 sit-ups, jog in place for one minute...)
- Then, he sets up an obstacle course around the yard - using sticks, rocks, rope or whatever he can find - and draws a map of it in his notebook
- Finally, he goes through his warm-up and performs the obstacle course as many times as his "self-designed work-out" calls for
It's a fun way to get a work-out while also developing skills in planning, memorizing, writing, and mapping.
