CONNECT 4 FITNESS at Home
Directions:
- Game can be played in partners or teams.
- You can print a hard copy from our websites (listed below) and use a marker or game piece to keep track of completed squares. If you use an Ipad or computer screen, you can use small post it notes to mark the squares.
- Game play needs to start on the bottom row and spaces cannot be used above until the space below is completed.
- One team or player starts. This can be determined by rock, paper, scissors or the youngest player can start first.
- In order to claim the space, the player needs to perform the exercise correctly and completely. The other player/team can be the coach and count/watch to make sure the exercise is done correctly.
- When the exercise is completed, the player/team can claim the space. Once the space has been claimed, it cannot be moved by either team.
- The players/teams alternate turns until one team has 4 in a row (diagonal, vertical, or horizontal)

Family Fitness Board Game
What you need: In order to play, you will need the family fitness game board which can be downloaded and printed from below, a die to roll, and some type of game piece you will use to move across the board. (examples could be a coin, eraser, or a small rock). The rules are simple!!
How to Play: Pick a player to start the game. They will roll the die one time, and move forward across the game board that many times. Each space has a different exercise you must complete before moving your piece across the board. Watch out though!! Some spaces may tell you to move backwards.... BUT some may also tell you to move forwards! The first player to make it to the finish is the winner!!
No printer to print out the game board??? No problem!! Create your own and use the one below as an example. Have fun and keep moving!
PAPER PLANE CORNHOLE
What you need: 2 or 3 paper airplanes and
bucket, empty trash can or laundry basket!
How to play:
● Once you have made your 2 or 3 paper airplanes and have picked one of the above containers to play with, set up the container about 5-10 feet away from where you will be throwing your airplanes.
● Set a timer for 1 MINUTE….
● When timer starts, the GOAL is to throw your paper airplanes, one at a time, into the bucket (Hint: the bigger the container, the more points you might earn because it will be a little easier to make it in. If you want a challenge, choose a smaller bucket or container!)
Scoring:
● If your plane hits the side of the container but does not go in, you earn 1 point
● If your plane goes into the container, you earn 2 points Remember, you’re on the clock!
So don’t forget to move your body FAST to get your airplanes each time you throw them to score more points! How many points can you score???
Can you or your family members beat 10 in 60 seconds?

Hello! We hope you are all well and keeping active. We know sometimes it is difficult, especially on rainy days, but here is an activity you can do indoors or out.
Have any plastic eggs in the house? If not, you can use pieces of paper.
Here are some examples (in addition to those above or from last week’s Bingo) of what you could write:
Stretch a muscle for 20 seconds Toe raises 10x
Do as many sit-ups as you can (or put a number) Gallop 10x (ea direction)
Do 10 dips on a chair Jump in place 10x
Do 15 arm circles Do 10 squats
Run in place while you say the alphabet Take 10 pretend basketball shots
Now get to it! Have one person hide the notes first. Start with 6? Have kid(s) or entire family perform each exercise once found. Play once or twice at one time. Change up the exercises (or leave the same) and try it again another day. If everyone has time to participate, you may want to add “take a walk” on one of the days. Have fun with it.
