PE HOMEPLAY FOR NOVEMBER 19 - NOVEMBER 28: In PE we had a great time doing the GREAT CHICKEN RACE - an obstacle course that we raced through (with a chicken!) as teams, each person on the team doing a section of the course. Be creative and set up an obstacle course of your own! See how fast your family can complete it as a team!
PE HOMEPLAY FOR NOVEMBER 4 - NOVEMBER 18:
To increase upper body and core strength, work on doing a handstand! To begin, stand with your back to a wall and (with permission!) put your hands on the ground in front of you and walk up the wall with your feet. If you're able, walk your hands in closer to the wall. Once you've developed the strength to support yourself, in a safe space try kicking up into a free handstand! (See photo below.)
PE HOMEPLAY FOR OCTOBER 28 - NOVEMBER 3:
Play a few rounds of PARTNER HOCKEY! (See video clip below) You and a partner face each other in push-up position and attempt to score goals by sliding a bean bag or rolled up sock through the opponent's arms. Be sure and stay in push-up position! Who can score ten points first?
PE HOMEPLAY FOR OCTOBER 20 - OCTOBER 27:
To strengthen your core, do THE PLANK (see photos)! Try to hold the pose for a minute, and consider doing the pose in some unusual places! Be creative, but of course, be safe!
PE HOMEPLAY FOR OCTOBER 6 - OCTOBER 19:
Do a check-up on your push-ups! Try the Push-up Challenge and see if you can move up the challenge ladder. If you've forgotten how to do each of the different levels, click on the file below to view a movie of Centennial students demonstrating the PUSH-UP CHALLENGE!
Remember to start at the beginning, or where you last left off. When you are able to master a level (10 repetitions using good form!) move on to the next level.

PE HOMEPLAY FOR SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 5:
Find a safe place to do some jogging to get ready for the Pumpkin Fund Run (Friday, Oct. 7th)! Use a pace that you can keep up for 15 minutes - fast enough to make your heart beat faster than normal, to make you breathe harder than normal and to make you a little hot and sweaty... but also slow enough to allow you to carry on a conversation! Don't forget to report your PE Homeplay to earn a Fantastic Feat Foot!
PE HOMEPLAY FOR SEPTEMBER 21- SEPTEMBER 28:
Play a game of Pirates and Parrots with your family! Divide into two teams - the pirates and the parrots. The pirates do the silliest, craziest, piratey dance they can think of (dance hard enough that you get a little hot and sweaty!). The parrots must watch the dance, but they are not allowed to smile or laugh! If they do, they lose the game! Then, switch places! Yo ho ho and a whole lot of fun!
PE HOMEPLAY FOR SEPTEMBER 14 - SEPTEMBER 21:
Take a family member for a walk! Walk long enough and fast enough to get a little hot and sweaty and make your heart beat faster than normal, but still be able to talk about your favorite thing at Centennial this year!
GOOD LUCK, CENTENNIAL STARS!!! Have fun, and report to the Blog, email jgedde@osd.wednet.edu or bring a note from home to earn a Fantastic Feat Award!
