Homeschool P.E.

How in the world, do we as home-schoolers do Physical education?

Well, one thing we are teaching our children is how to live in the real world. Do most grown-ups play sports outside everyday? Well, no... of course not.

Do most grown ups have an early morning fitness routine? Probably not.

So, how do I teach my kiddos to have a good fitness routine?

By having an early morning fitness routine!!!

Get up. Eat & Groom. Devotions.

Exercise that includes the following:

1.Stretching
2.Sit ups
3.Push ups
4.Jumping Jacks
5.Leg lifts
6.Jogging, hopping, & skipping around the house. :-) This is great fun!


On sunny days, there is a back yard and a great park nearby.


On rainy days, sniffly-runny nose days (like today), or days when it is freezing:

How about a great game of Tupperware lid hockey???

This is where you take all the round Tupperware lids you can find (in my case some that do not go with anything) and try to hit them with a floor scrubber or broom.

The Tupperware lids must past under the chair legs.

Jonathan & Ryan , the goalies, are fearless when it comes to protecting their goal.

Justin is learning that a floor scrubber or broom makes a great hockey stick!
