How many jumping jacks can you do in a minute?
For this P.E. challenge, you’ll need:
- a space (indoor or outdoor) that has enough room for you to jump around in
- a timer or clock
First, brainstorm how many jumping jacks you think you can do in a minute? Write down your answer!
Then, set your timer (or look at your clock) for one minute (60 seconds) and start jumping!! Count out loud as you jump – or grab a jumping-buddy to help you count!
Record how many jumping jacks you did beside your original guess. Did you jump more than you thought? Did you jump less than you thought? Do you think you can do more jumps next time?
Keep trying, and see what your RECORD number of jumping jacks in a minute is!
