  • Q: As a homeschool parent, why is physical education important for my child?

    A: Physical education is crucial for the overall development and well-being of your child. Regular physical activity helps promote physical fitness, enhances motor skills, builds strength and endurance, and contributes to healthy growth and development. It also plays a significant role in improving mental health, boosting cognitive function, fostering social skills, and instilling good habits for lifelong physical activity.

    Q: How much physical activity should my child engage in each day?

    A: The recommended amount of physical activity for children varies depending on their age. As a general guideline, preschool-age children (3-5 years) should engage in at least three hours of active play throughout the day. Children and adolescents aged 6-17 should aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily. This can include a combination of activities such as sports, active games, outdoor play, dancing, or structured exercises.

    Q: What types of physical activities can I incorporate into our homeschool routine?

    A: There are numerous physical activities you can include in your homeschool routine. Consider activities like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, yoga, martial arts, dancing, playing sports (soccer, basketball, tennis), skipping rope, or engaging in organized activities like gymnastics or rock climbing. Tailor the activities to your child's interests and abilities while ensuring they experience a mix of aerobic, strength-building, and flexibility exercises.

    Q: Are there any online resources or programs that can assist with homeschool physical education?

    A: Yes, there are several online resources and programs available to assist with homeschool physical education. Websites like GoNoodle, Fitness Blender, and The Body Coach offer free workout videos and fitness routines designed specifically for children. You can also explore YouTube channels dedicated to kids' fitness or consider purchasing fitness-oriented video games or activity trackers that make physical activity engaging and fun.

    Q: How can I ensure my child's safety during physical activities at home?

    A: Safety is paramount during physical activities. Here are some measures you can take:

    1. Ensure proper warm-up and cool-down routines to prevent injuries.

    2. Clear the activity area of any hazards, such as sharp objects or furniture.

    3. Provide appropriate protective gear, such as helmets, knee pads, or goggles when necessary.

    4. Teach and reinforce proper techniques and form for different exercises or sports.

    5. Supervise your child's activities, particularly if they involve potentially risky movements or equipment.

    6. Stay informed about first aid and basic injury prevention techniques.

    Q: Can my child participate in team sports or physical activities with other homeschoolers?

    A: Absolutely! Homeschooled children can participate in team sports and physical activities with other homeschoolers through local homeschool groups, community sports leagues, or recreational programs. Check if there are homeschool sports associations or organizations in your area that offer opportunities for group activities, team sports, or competitions. Engaging in such activities can provide social interaction, teamwork experience, and a chance to develop new skills.

    Q: How can I assess my child's progress in physical education without traditional grading?

    A: Traditional grading might not be necessary for physical education in a homeschool setting. Instead, focus on observing your child's growth, development, and improvement in their physical abilities. Keep track of their participation, effort, and the acquisition of new skills. Consider creating a portfolio or journal to document their physical activities, milestones, and personal achievements. You can also engage in discussions with your child, setting goals together, and celebrating their progress along the way.

    Q: Are there any health and nutrition aspects I should consider alongside physical education?

    A: Health and nutrition go hand in hand with physical education. Teach your child about the importance of maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and making healthy food choices. Encourage

  • My students are having “fun” utilizing Stronger Together Academy’s “disguised learning” techniques. I would recommend this program to any school district or teacher looking to increase engagement with their students and help them develop a love of lifelong health and fitness.
