Sometimes I will get asked what my kids do for PE. Do they play baseball, basketball, football or tennis? No, We don’t do the oragnized activities like that. I know a lot of families who do join recreation leagues to make sure their kids get plenty of exercise. We haven’t played organized sports like that is several years. We also know of people who have their kids taking karate or kung fu lessons. The only organized acitvity that any of my children are doing right now is Sarah. She takes tap/jazz lessons once a week at the moment. They are practicing 2 routines for their recital in May.
We are also very blessed to have a great Recreation group in out County. Just this year, they have organized one day a week for the homeschool kids to come and use their facilities. They have several employees to lead group games with the 2 different age groups. I actually remembered to bring my camera today and got some pictures.
Sarah decided to play beach volleyball today. Since she is the only “older” girl her gae there, she usually just plays with the boys. Samuel is still shy and won’t participate in the games, so he sits next to the bleachers and watches the other kids play. Claire is too young to particpate, however, there are usually other kids her age that she plays with next to the bleachers also. So they do get some playing time in. We also go to the park at least once a week and the kids get to run around and play with their friends there. We also can count that as PE time as well.
