Garden Olympics) - Day 2

Pass the objects

The aim of the activity is to pass objects to 2 different markers without dropping them, using your feet. 

Sit with your bum on the floor, leaning slightly backwards. Grip different objects, balls, pots anything you can lift with your feet, between two different markers. The further the distance the markers are the harder it is. 

Your hands cannot touch the ground. Count how many you can do in 30 seconds, then take 30 seconds rest, then repeat 5 times. 

Catch Challenge

Throw a ball against a wall (or with a partner 2 minutes apart) and see how many catches you can do in a minute. Easy right?

Challenge - Use an odd-shaped ball

Do a full 360’ turn before you catch it

Do several attempts and try to beat your scores.

In the absence of Sports Day, I would like you to attempt the Garden Olympics and if you feel brave enough to share what you have done on your Google Class page.

If you wish to send a video of your opening ceremony and footage of event 1 day 1, then please post it on your Google Classroom page. 

To Bank or Not to Bank

You need a throwing line and three buckets or circles or towels to aim at.

 The first bucket should be four steps from the throwing line and is worth 1 point, the 2nd bucket should be 7 steps from the throwing line and is worth 5 points, the last bucket is ten steps from the throwing line and is worth 10 points. 

When you get points, you can bank them. 

If you miss you lose all the points that you have not banked. 

To bank, you need to run around the ten-point marker, head back to the throwing line, then you need to place your body flat on the ground (belly down) and then stand up and jump x10. 

After you have banked that money you can continue playing. 

You have a 5-minute time limit. 

Keep a score of how much you have in the bank and post your score on Google Classroom (optional).

You must bank before the end of the 5-minutes. 

Top Tips

Practice first and see which target you feel most confident aiming for. How many times can you consistently hit it? How often should you bank?
