Throw & Catch – Gloves are an option. Use a softer ball if you do not have a glove. Don’t forget to step with your opposite foot.. remember: Sideways on your surfboard, ( T,L,C, and check your change with your hands on opposite hip).

Go on a Walk or a BEAR (animal) HUNT - I don’t know about you, but I sure have noticed lots of bears out in my neighborhood. You might have as well. Take a walk with a grown family member and count how many teddy bears or animals you see! You can add them up or break them into colors and sizes too!
Jump Rope - We sure practiced hard on this. If you have a jump rope, practice all of those skills we worked on; forward jump, backwards jump, one- foot hop, and side to side. 2nd grade: don’t forget the side swing, and criss-cross. (Remember you also could use your imaginary jump rope or even use a hula hoop).
Hopscotch – Use sidewalk chalk or a rock to draw out your hopscotch pattern. Don’t forget the numbers. Toss your rock to a number box, and make sure you hop over that number on the way down. Be sure to pick it up on the way back. Be creative with your designs!
