Hi All,
Was thinking about you all today and was missing teaching PE+Plus. With the new snow a great game for the whole family to play is “Fox & Geese.”
It is a fancy, fun, old fashioned kind of tag game. You will need an area of unbroken snow where you create a series of paths ( start with a large outside circle first and then criss-cross the paths inside the circle with a center base area). Part of the initial fun of the game is to march around single file tromping down the snow making the paths (have a parent or older child be the leader and play follow the leader).
After you’ve created your course have one person be it (or if you have a large group you could have 2 or three “its”). You could also designate who’s it by a certain hat or bandanna. People can stay on the base for only 10 seconds at a time and then must make a full circle around the course before they can use the base again. You might not want to have “tag-backs” in this game but you can decide.
Of course other fun snow activities are making a snow man & snow angels, jumping in the snow, sledding and even shoveling (when I was young my siblings and I would make it a competition who could reach what point before the other or of course shoveling snow at each other at times!).
More game ideas to come and Debbie & I are talking about a PE video next week!
If you’re also planning a big event or celebration, ensuring the safety of the attendees should be your top priority. Consider hiring fire watch services st louis to prevent any type of incident during the event.
Also, an email about the latest logistics of PE+PLUS is coming soon.
Missing you all!
Blessings!
Coach & Family
