• Rock, Paper Scissors
In a pair, stand one metre apart and face each other. Line up along a centre line with a safety line positioned twenty metres behind both pupil. Each pair begins
by performing a rock-paper-scissors routine. A rock is a closed fist, paper is a flat hand, and scissors are the index and middle fingers in a cutting position.
Paper always covers rock, rock breaks scissors, and scissors cut paper. To determine a winner, pupils count to three and form a rock, paper, or scissors. The
winning pupil then chases their partner toward their safety line, attempting to tag them before they are safe. Line up again and repeat the activity

• Sprint Challenge
For this activity, you need to place your 2 Cones or Garden Objects 10 metres (m) apart on a flat, non-slip surface (or 20m if you have sufficient space).
When the Tester shouts “On Your Marks”, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, with your dominant foot slightly in front, just behind the first cone.
Distribute most of your weight on the front foot. On “Set,” bend slightly at the hips and knees, keeping your head and chest up. From here, place your arms in
the ready position with one arm high behind your back (this should be the same arm as your dominant foot) and one arm low in front of your body. You may
also start in the *four-point* start position with both hands on the ground (see image above). Finally, when the Tester shouts, “Go” explode towards the second
cone straight ahead, touching it before returning to your starting point. You must cover 60m and the Tester will record how long it takes using the stopwatch.
• Egg and Spoon Race Challenge
For this activity you need to place your 2 Cones or Garden Objects 10 metres apart on a flat, non-slip surface (or 20m if you have sufficient space).
Line up at the starting cone with your egg balancing on your top of your spoon. Make sure you have one hand holding the spoon at the end of the handle and
the other hand behind your back. When the teste shouts “Go”, move as quickly as possible (walk or run) to the second cone and turn carefully before returning
to your starting point. If you drop your egg off your spoon, you must go back to the beginning and Start again! You must cover 40m and the Tester will record
how long it takes using the stopwatch.

Draw or stick target areas at various heights on a wall (see the image attached). Points should be placed in the centre of each target
from one to five. Record how long it takes you achieve a score of twenty. You must hit the targets on the wall to achieve that
score. When you have this complete, you could try to score a penalty on Mom, Dad or a big brother or sister.

• Bowling
Use cones to set up a bowling lane approximately five metres in length from where you are going to throw from.
At the end of the bowling lane place five skittles as targets. You have three chances to knock over as many skittles
as possible with the ball. Keep your score. If you did not knock over all the skittles after three throws, place the
skittles upright and try again until it takes just three throws or less to knock all skittles. Record how many times it
took.
To increase difficulty increase the distance between the thrower and the skittles or decreasing the width of the lane

Wellington Toss
Start by holding the front side of your Welly boot in your strong hand, just below the ankle. Place the boot onto your shoulder, with the sole almost
touching the side of your face. This should look like you’re about to make a phone call. Stand sideways to your target with your feet shoulder-width apart.
The Welly boot should be in the hand furthest from the starting line (Left foot on the start line, Welly boot in your right hand). When you’re ready, quickly
move your weight on to your back foot and throw the Welly boot as far as possible by extending your arm and moving your weight back onto your front
foot. Your chest should be facing the target once you have released the Welly boot, but you must not cross the Start Line after your throw or this will not
count. The Tester will then place the Marker where the Welly boot first made contact with the ground. Using the Measuring Tape, the Tester will then
check how far the Welly boot travelled and this distance.
Punt Kick (no bounce)
For this activity, you will need a clear wall and a ball. You kick the ball off the wall. The ball will bounce off the wall and into your hands. You must not
drop the ball. If you do drop the ball, you must start from the beginning again, When the Tester shouts “Go!” , you see how many punt kicks can you do in
30 seconds and record. Demonstration Video Clip: https://learning.fingal.ie/mod/book/view.php?id=637&chapterid=117
• Super Strong Challenge
Place your 2 Cones or Garden Objects 10 metres (m) apart on a flat, non-slip surface (preferably grass to cushion your hands slightly). You will begin in
the start position with one foot touching the first cone and your head pointing towards the second cone. When the Tester shouts “Go!” , crawl forwards as
quickly as possible until you can touch the second cone with your hand. Once you have touched the second cone with your hand, crawl backwards and
return to the first cone as quickly as possible, touching it again with your foot. You must cover 40m (Forward-Back-Forward-Back) and the Tester will
record how long it takes using the stopwatch.
Resources Needed:
• Skipping rope
• Wellington/ Boot
• Tester
• Timer
• Measuring tape
• 2 Cones
• Ball
FRIDAY 26/06/2020
Skipping Challenge
For this activity, see how many times you jump over the skipping rope in 30 seconds.
• Marathon Challenge
For this activity, place your two Cones or Garden Objects 10 metres (m) apart on a flat, non-slip surface (or 20m if you have sufficient space).
Begin at your starting cone in a standing start position (similar to your Sprint start position but standing slightly more upright). When the Tester
shouts, “Ready, Steady, Go”, begin running at a steady, comfortable pace to the second cone, before turning sharply and returning to your
original cone. You will repeat this for 5 minutes with the Tester counting the number of lengths you can complete. You will then work out your
total distance, for example, if your cones are spaced 10m apart and you manage to complete 50 lengths, your total distance will be 500m or if
your cones are spaced 20m apart and you manage to complete 30 lengths, your total distance will be 600m
• Long Jump
For this activity, at the Start Line, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, facing forwards with your toes just behind the line. When
you’re ready, dip slightly at the knees and jump as far as you can (just like below), raising your arms up above your head to propel yourself
forward as far as possible. Try to stick your landing (stumbling forwards is not permitted) and the Tester will place the marker behind
whichever heel is closest to the Start Line. Complete 5 attempts and move the marker only if you manage to beat your previous effort. The
Tester will then measure the distance from the Start Line to the Marker to the nearest centimetre (cm), for example 137cm. I cant wait to hear
your results!
