FIELD DAY MUST GO ON! Schools have long had the tradition of celebrating a year of learning by having a fun day of games and activities outside. And this year, it is particularly important that Field Day still happens! So, for the next two weeks, you and your family will plan out a fun Field Day. Just follow Coach Dodd’s easy planning guide and get going!  

View the Noodle Hockey video or read/print the directions to learn the game.

Play the game and answer these questions:

 

• In Noodle Hockey you are trying to score a goal. How many other sports can you name in which the players are trying to score a goal?

 

• How is Noodle Hockey similar to Ice Hockey?  How is it different than Ice Hockey?

 

• Besides Ice Hockey, there also is a sport called Field Hockey. Ice Hockey is more popular than Field Hockey. Why do you think so?

 

✓ 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.

FIELD DAY MUST GO ON! Schools have long had the tradition of celebrating a year of learning by having a fun day of games and activities outside. And this year, it is particularly important that Field Day still happens! So, you and your family will plan out and have a fun Family Field Day. Just follow Coach Dodd’s easy planning guide and get going! Send pictures of your Family Field Day to me at ssipps@houstonisd.org

1. On the Green Lantern Obstacle Couse, list two of the movements you see.

2. On Heros vs. Villains, what Travis Favorite Game do you think is being played? What evidence in the picture could prove your answer?

3. What category on the easy planning guide do you think Musical Chairs would best fit? Obstacle Course? Travis Favorite Games? Classic Field Day Games? Or Water Games?

4. A water game took place at event number four. What water game would you like to play?

 

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!

 

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. 

 

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?
