Snail Hopscotch
This game is a lot of fun and is designed to be played with as many people as you wish! Set Up Draw a large circle (about 10 - 12 inches) on the ground and then draw a very large spiral board on the concrete starting at the circle and spiraling out to look like a snails shell. The spirals of the snail shell need to be about 8 - 12" apart. Make 3 at least large spirals around the center circle (the bigger the snail, the harder it is to play). Divide the spirals into spaces about 12 - 14" apart. |
The first player hops on one foot from the center circle to the outside and back. If they make it without stepping of a line or losing their balance they can use sidewalk chalk to mark ANY space they want with their initials.
No one is able to jump on that space the rest of the game.
The next player must hop on one foot from the center and back but must jump over the space that is marked with initials. If they make it then they may write their initials on any square they choose.
This is a simple game, but it gets crazy when kids have to hop all the way across the board to an empty space near the end of the game.
The person with the most initialed squares wins.

Jump Rope
Learning How to Jump Rope
1. Jump Just work on the basics. It’s a lot easier to work on jumping before you start turning the rope, just put it on the ground and practice jumping over it correctly. The easiest way to “jump-rope” is when the rope is on the ground and you jump over it. Slow Snake Fast Snake Super Sonic Snake Low and Slow Jump Two Leg Jump Back and Forth 2. Turn Now practice turning the rope nice and slow – don’t jump yet, figure out the turn first and then you can add in the jump later. 3. Jump and Turn You are ready to go, add those 2 skills together and remember “TURN FIRST…THEN JUMP” make sure to turn nice and slow, not too fast. Celebrate their Wins! Give your kids some encouragement and really celebrate their improvement, even if it’s just getting better at line jumps with the rope on the ground, it’s important to realize that practice leads to skill improvement. |

Set your interval timer for 7 rounds of 45 seconds of work, and 15 seconds of rest, totaling 7 minutes. Get your kiddo’s favorite upbeat music on and get ready to go hard. Your child (and you! You’ve got to model what you want to see!) should be doing as many of these exercises as possible in 45 seconds. You actually want to be tired, breathing heavy, and heartbeat elevated at the end of this 7 minutes. These exercises are all animal themed by the way to make them fun for kids! Movement Instructions Frog Hops These are exactly what they sound like. Hop back and forth, like a frog. Depending on how much room you have, you may need to hop in one place. Bear Walk Place your hands and feet on the floor. Your hips and butt should be in the air, higher than your head. On all fours take two steps forward and two steps back, then repeat. Gorilla Shuffles Sink down into a low sumo squat and place your hands on the ground between your feet. Shuffle a few steps to the left and then back a few steps to the right. Maintain the squat and ape-like posture through the entire movement. Starfish Jumps These are jumping jacks! Do as many as you can, arms and legs spread wide like a starfish! Cheetah RunRun in place, as fast as you can! Crab Crawl Sit with your knees bent and place your palms flat on the floor behind you near your hips. Lift your body off the ground and “walk” on all fours forward and then backward. Elephant Stomps Stand with your feet hip-width apart and stomp, raising your knees up to hip level, or as high as you can bring them up. Try to hit the palm of your hands with your knees. |
Set up your interval timer for 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest for a total of 1 minute per move.
You and your kids should do as many of each move as possible during the 45 seconds. 1. Lizard Run Start in a plank position. You should have your hands (or forearms) on the floor, a straight back, and holding up your lower body with your toes. You’re going to “run” as fast as you can, like a little lizard by bringing your knees up, one at a time, to your arms. (Picture a mountain climber) 2. Monkey Climbs Standing up straight again with legs slightly hip-width apart, bend your elbows so your hands are beside your shoulders. Raise your right arm above your head while simultaneously raising your left knee to your hips. Then, alternate by lowering your arm and knee and lifting the left arm above your head while also lifting the right knee. To get an idea of what this looks like, imagine the lizard runs only you’re standing and adding in the arm movements, like a standing mountain climber. 3. Hummingbird Flies Stand up straight, with feet together. Stretch your arms straight out on either side of you (like a cross). Then you’re going to move your arms in very small circles. This is like windmills but with small, tight circles like a hummingbird quickly moving their wings. 4. Kangaroo Jumps Start by standing straight, legs slightly less than hip-width apart. Then, bend your knees to about a 45-degree angle and then spring yourself up, jumping in place as high as you can. Land with your knees back at the 45-degree angle and repeat. This looks similar to a jump squat, but you aren’t going down as low. You can swing your arms out straight in front of you to help maintain your balance. 5. Snake Crawl The rest of the workout is completed on the ground, but don’t worry that doesn’t make it too easy. For the snake crawl, prop yourself up on your forearms with your legs resting on the ground straight out behind you. You shouldn’t be using your legs to support your body weight at all, they’re your long snake tail. Use your forearms to drag yourself forward like a modified army crawl. 6. Hatching Butterfly Start off by sitting on your bottom with your knees up in front of you. Hug your knees into your chest and roll backward, curling up into a small ball. This is your cocoon. Next, you’re going to “hatch” out of your cocoon like a butterfly by spreading your arms and legs out as far and wide as you can. Your arms and legs should be hovering a few inches off the ground, using your abdominal muscles to support yourself. 7. Donkey Kicks This is the last high-intensity move in the workout. Start on your hands and knees and kick your leg out and up at a 90-degree angle. Alternate legs going as quickly as you can. 8. Downward Facing Dog Time to cool down. Start with your hands and knees on the floor. Then lift your knees off the floor, raising your buttocks high in the air, pushing your heels toward the ground and your palms flat on the ground. You should be looking down so your head is completely inverted. Hold the pose for 45 seconds, or for the full minute, if you can. |
