Kids' Sports Program

In our homeschool program, we are required to have at least 4-hour Physical Education every week. My husband and I have to plan out how we comply with that requirement. So far, this is what we have done in our PE program. May you find some ideas or inspiration for your own homeschool program.

Badminton
We're blessed to live near a sports center and also we have a friend who is a professional badminton coach so our homeschoolers had badminton training for 3 months.

Ice Skating
There are times when we take the kids out for ice skating but because it's quite expensive to keep it a regular activity, we just go there on special occasions.

Chess Tournament
When it's too hot to go outside, or when we feel like we have enough of outdoor activities already, we just do some indoor sports like dart or chess.

Traditional Games
Our homeschoolers had a blast when we introduced Filipino traditional games to them. That's when they learned how to use marbles and  rubberbands in games. They also enjoyed takyan, tumba lata, syatung and many others.

Swimming
Swimming is always the easiest kind of sports we can do because we live near a public pool. Kids never get enough of it! Soon, we will be enrolling them to a proper swimming course.

Archery
Our homeschoolers had the chance to learn a bit of archery last month. We're not sure if we'll have another round of that but, for sure, it was one of the most memorable sports they had.


We also table tennis, kick ball, and many other games and sports. I still have to dig my picture files to share them here. But when we run out of ideas, we just take the children out for free play or biking in the park.
