They have so much energy and get easily bored, so incorporating this activity between subjects will keep them alert for the next teaching session while expending some excess energy. Great idea!

I like your idea for the sports break every six weeks. That is something that could be incorporated into our current co-op. Next year, our plans are a little bigger. We want to meet 3 days per week and start each day with some type of physical activity. We will also be incorporating rebounding (mini trampoline, not basketball)between subjects with the younger children. Thank you for the prayer Diane.

We planned the sport based on the season. For instance, we ice-skated during the winter, played kickball during the spring, and swam at a neighborhood pool in the summer. In addition to the athletic benefits, the kids learn about living in community and get to see a fuller picture of their homeschooling friends. Lord, please bless Heidi's organizing efforts with a fantastic success! Diane Heidi,

This next school year, I will be organizing a co-op that incorporates sports for the very same reasons that you have listed. (Besides, I could use the exercise too.)
