Fitness Tag

Fitness Tag: This twist on tag gives a physical boost to the classic game. Instead of standing in place once you’re tagged, think of a challenging but fun physical activity, like jumping jacks or balancing on one foot, and continue to do it until you get untagged.

Fitness Game of the Week

In celebration of my latest upcoming book : Boot Camp Fitness for Kids I will share with you creative ways of getting your kids to exercise! This weeks exercise is actually a game, kids love it and you can be creative by adding your own variations.

Astronaut
Number of Players:

This exercise/game supports movement patterns and skills: Running & Dodging.
Equipment: One balloon per player.

Purpose: Develop loco-motor and non-loco-motor skills. Develop endurance. Develop group cooperation.
Directions: Four children are selected as astronauts. Each astronaut is given a balloon for air
supply. On a signal the rest of the class (the Martians) chase the astronauts and try to destroy
their air supply (pop the balloons). Once all of the astronauts have their balloons popped, repeat
the game with four new astronauts. Play until everyone has had a chance to be an astronaut.
Teaching Hints: Use a large grassy area for this game. The children can tire quickly, so allow
short periods of rest. Make sure all of the astronauts have balloons popped. Do not allow
children to keep the balloons. A variation would be to use flags; once an astronaut’s flag has
been pulled, they must surrender the balloon to the Martian.
