GIVE YOUR STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON THEIR PE SKILLS AT HOME!!!
 
The PERFECT set for HOME-BASED PE and Physical Activity during the Corona-virus Outbreak and Social Distance Situation!
 
The PE Distance Learning Series- 40 Home Tossing and Catching Tasks packet is a FUN AND ACTIVE set of challenging task cards that students can use at home to stay active during times they are not at school or involved in an organized movement program. The cards make it EASY for students to first read and then perform a variety of ENGAGING skill-based movements in small space environments. The movements provide ample opportunities for them to work on their manipulative skills while cooped up at home. Students need to MOVE their bodies in whatever environment they face!!
 
The cards can be used by a physical education teacher to send home to their students to help keep them active outside of school while subsequently addressing their PE standards. Classroom teachers can also send the visuals home to help promote movement as a “brain boost” between assigned academic tasks. The zip folder includes 3 formats that include PDF, JPG and PowerPoint.
 
The PE Distance Learning Series- 40 Home Tossing and Catching Tasks are a very convenient and creative way for you to have your students move at home “with a purpose!” The task cards are very colorful with “top of the line” graphics and detailed instructions. Each sock ball challenge card includes the following components: 1. Movement/Skill Identification, 2. Movement/Skill Graphic, 3. Rep Or Time Suggestion, 4. Detailed Description of the Movement/Skill, and 5. Tips for Success.
 
These skill-based task cards are colorful, attractive and “kid friendly”. Students will enjoy the variation in movement and will love the animated pictures and descriptions/tips that accompany the desired actions!
 
Also included in the zip folder is the Optional PE Movement Activity Log (in Word or PDF) for students to record the tasks/movements they perform at home.
