PE At Home Resources
HEY students and parents!
I hope everyone is staying safe out there and I will miss teaching you in PE class while you are not at school, but the good news is you already have all the skills, tools and knowledge you need to keep your body healthy.
I hope you can use all that we’ve learned in PE this year to stay active each day and if it’s safe and the weather is nice you could even try to get outside and play in your yards to keep yourselves active.
I’ve included some daily workouts for you to try out and also linked up a ton of resources and activities that you can check out if you get bored or need a fun activity to do.
Other than the daily workout and skill review options provided in this packet, you can find lots of additional ideas linked on the last page:
Optional Skills Review
If you have any of the equipment below (frisbee, ball, jump rope, balloon etc), you can practice reviewing or working on any of the skills that we’ve learned in PE class this year.
- Jump Rope: If you have a jump rope, you can review some of the Single Jump Rope Tricks we learned in PE, or if you have a sibling or family member you could even try out some of the Partner Tricks we learned
- Throwing and Catching: If you have space in your yard and it’s safe to go outside, try to practice throwing and catching with a family member with a ball or a frisbee
○ K-1: Underhand Throwing (ball)
○ 2-5: Overhand Throwing (ball)
- Striking a Balloon (awesome activity for K-2nd Grade)
○ Blow up a balloon and practice striking it with different items in your house (or different body parts)
○ What is the hardest item or body part to control the balloon with? What’s your record for the most number of hits without moving your feet?
○ Here’s an example of this balloon striking activity
- Basketball: If you have a basketball or playground ball, practice some of the ball handling drills and challenges that we worked on in PE over the last few weeks
○ Ball Handling Drills Tutorial
○ Ball Handling Drills Follow Along
Stay Safe, Have Fun and Keep Yourself Active!

Thank you for accessing my website!
A good learning experience is built on a cooperative effort between parent, child, and teacher. Studies show that parental involvement in a child’s education is one of the strongest indicators of student achievement. I hope you will make it a priority this year to attend as many school-sponsored events as possible, contact us when you have concerns, and keep the communcations lines open.
If you have any questions or concerns, need to schedule a conference, or volunteer to help out, you may contact me anytime. I can be reached at 665-5855. Please leave a message and I will return your call at my earliest convenience.
