physical education
Does anyone use Family Time Fitness (Fitness 4 Homeschool) for their Phys. ed requirement? or for their family?
Our state requires Phys. Ed & I know from experience, it'll be the lowest priority on my "to do list" so I'm looking for any help at all for a "this is what to do when" type of layout so that I'll add this in. I don't have any requirements until 2019 (when my guys turns 8) but I want to get into a habit now so it'll be easier then. They have a free workbook for his age (kindy) but it's very short. He'll be doing swimming & possibly soccer soon & he does play outside. We have a swing set, a teeter board, monkey bars (though he's currently too short to reach them comfortably & doesn't really like them), a mini trampoline, & we're planning on a pool this year. & of course what most kids in America have - plenty of balls, & a bike. But I definitely think I need something a little more structured for every day, to make sure I get everything in. I also like that a program would cover different activities that maybe I wouldn't think about. He is also sometimes motivated by checklists. Other program suggestions welcome. Thanks. |

Re: physical education
With all of that he does on his own I would not be troubled to do an official PE course.That is plenty!

We do a lot of hiking. We're saving for kayaks. We have Wii Fit U which is super fun and a great option for crummy weather. We all have pedometers |

Re: physical education
They might get frustrated with some of the activities, especially the balance games. Buy I think there's enough that they'll like. And plenty to grow into. It's pretty cheap on Amazon. I think $30 for the disc, balance board, and fit meter. Extra fit meters are $5 (optional).

Re: physical education
My kids are really into sports and what they play changes by season. For phys Ed I like to actually break down to them the why we do this for our body. I guess that is more of a biology lesson than phys Ed though. Part of it is that I am a personal trainer so I have to take yearly continuing education units. Sometimes these are fun interactive websites, or have print off pages my kids can label or color. I also like to spend a couple of weeks pre season reading a book, or two or ten, about the sport they will be going into. Depending on how structured the state you are in requires the phys Ed to be, perhaps you could just get library books on the sports you already do as well as a few books on general health and wellness. Oh I forgot to mention my state has no physical education requirement.
