The Chief Medical Officers' guidance on daily physical activity levels set outs that children should be doing at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Whilst the current restrictions in place due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation provide challenges for achieving this, the following resources can support children in continuing to achieve an active lifestyle. They provide a range of challenges and many activities are great to do as a whole family.
As you may be aware, in school we follow the Real PE scheme. Real PE at home includes an online programme which supports families to be active, play and learn together. It includes a programme specifically for children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 with 12 themes, 6 areas, over 250 activities and challenges and 1000s of hours of fun and activity. This programme is also great for family play and fun. It also includes a programme for children in Key Stage 2 with guidance provided for both programmes.
