4 Square

The students @ St. Augustine were so happy upon returning after the summer break to find a painted 4 square in the school yard. I have been teaching the children this game that improves hand/eye coordination and increases confidence. I have also been teaching them to help each other improve their skills in this cooperative game.

Welcome back St. Augustine Students!

Now that we have settled into our P.E. routines we are heading outside for classes.

Grades 1 & 2 played kick ball, 4 square and jump rope.

Grades 3, 4, 5 are playing kickball, 4 square and jackpot. (a player calls out a 10 # and throws the ball in the air whoever catches it receives the points. When they get to 500 they become the thrower.

6,7,8 Are playing flag-football, jackpot and 4 square.

Thank you to our new 6th grade students from Henry Barnard School for sharing some fun new twists to add to the game!

(lollipop, tea party, etc….)
