View the Water Safety Noodle Tag video to learn the game.  Then play the game and answer these questions:

1.)   In water noodle tag you use a water noodle to tag. What are other safe items that you could use to tag someone?

2.)   How is Water Safety Tag similar to Go Food Tag? How are they different?

3.)   There are lots of safe and fun games that you can actually play in the water. How many can you come up with? Can you create your own safe water game?

1)  Always swim with a buddy in a supervised area. Never swim alone! Make sure someone is swimming with you and that there is a lifeguard or adult supervising.

2)  Be cool, follow the rules. All pool areas (private pool and public pools) have rules like no diving, shower before entering the pool, no rough play, etc. Respect and follow all Safety rules!

3)  Look before you Leap. Always check the water before jumping in. Make sure you know how deep it is and look to see if people and objects are out of the way.

4)  Reach or throw, don’t go! Never jump in a try to save someone! The person in trouble in the water might pull you down in their panic and then there would be two people in trouble. Here is what you do: Call out for help (the adult or lifeguard) and reach out with a water noodle or pool net pole for the person to grab hold of. You also can toss them a Lifeguard Rescue Ring or something else that floats for them to hold on to.

5)  Don’t just pack it, wear your jacket. Put on your life jacket before you get into a boat. Don’t stick it under your seat and hope you will be able to put it on in trouble.

Think so you don’t sink. Stay calm if you are in trouble in the water and think about what you can do to help yourself.

As the temperature warms up, a fun way to get some outdoor exercise can involve water, like swimming. This week learn the water safety rules and then play Water Noodle Tag with your family. Also, remember to hold your Family Field Day if you have not done so already!

Activity 1:  Family Field Day Planning

✓ Talk to all the members in your house and commit to having a Family Field Day to celebrate this wacky year of learning. (Follow the planning guide)

✓ When picking events for your field day, allow for each family member to pick one event that they really want to do. For example, if you have 4 members in your family, they each get to choose one game/event for field day.

✓ The suggestion is to have at least 4 events, so this week be sure to practice and try out two of your chosen events. Then the following week focus on the practicing the other two events. Ideally, your family will spend 2 weeks to planning and getting everything ready for the big day.

Looking for resources to get kids moving at home? We're here to help! Feel free to use any of these resources to start your own at-home PE class, or just enjoy walking or jogging together as a family.

Marathon Kids Mileage Lo g (available in both English and Spanish): Print off one log for each member of the family and stick them on the fridge! Kids and adults can use these logs to track their cumulative mileage on family walks or runs. You can set a goal of covering a marathon (26.2 miles) or more over the next three weeks, and work toward it together!

Mini Mileage Log: For an easier challenge, use these five-mile logs! Use these little cards to track all physical activity, not just running. 20 minutes of heart-pumping exercise equals one mile. If a child does five minutes of jumping jacks, for example, they can color in one-quarter of a track.

Walk and Talk (available in both English and Spanish): Register for this free program and turn family walks around the neighborhood into quality connection time with your kids with our free conversation starters. These wide-ranging topics and questions are designed to stimulate fascinating conversations with kids of all ages (and as you walk and talk, you're covering miles to check off on your mileage log!).

Fun Warm-Ups: Before you start walking or running with your kids, don't forget to warm up your bodies first! These activities are guaranteed to make both children and adults giggle as they get their blood pumping.

Running Games: These games require little to no equipment and are a good time for kids (and kids-at-heart) of all ages. They're a great way to switch things up and keep exercise fun for everyone.

Cool Down Activities: After you work out, it's always smart to cool down slowly to prevent injuries. Stretch your muscles as a family and show your children how to prepare for the next workout.

If you're looking for an at-home PE program that includes Nike rewards, check out our budget-friendly Marathon Kids at Home program!
