Lockdown 2: Homework Challenges brought to you by Chance Camp
We support Cumbria & Allerdale School Games
Here at Chance Camp we understand how children must really be missing extra-curricular activities including sports clubs and club training, we certainly are! We have decided to provide you with more activities to use for your homework during lockdown 2! These activities will be posted daily on social media and posted here for you to try. These activities are from our new 5s Programme and will be based on strength- something you can easily do at home!
Send us a video/photo and let us know how you get on- you can even make it into a family competition!
Stay Smart, Active and Healthy during this time with us!
Homework Challenges Week Commencing Monday 7th December

Scarlet from Victoria Junior school has 4 skipping challenges for you!
Two footed jumping skips
Single foot steps/shuffle skips
Backwards skipping
Double 'unders'
Try to keep your body upright
Keep a steady rhythm with your jumping
use your wrists to spin the rope and not your whole arms!

Lockdown 2- Static Shoulder Press Hold
How long can you hold the shoulder press for with good posture?
Lockdown 2 ~ Sit Up Challenges
Today’s challenge is all about slowing down movements!
How slowly can you perform 5 sit ups?
⚫️Option 1:
🟠 Keep your feet flat on the floor
🟡 Cross your arms across your chest
🔴 Breath out as you sit up
⚫️Option 2:
🟠 Put your legs into the butterfly position
🟡 Arms straight, fingers touching the floor
🔴 As you sit up, fingers touch your feet
To make it more challenging you can try holding an object against your chest (flat feet position) or in your hands (butterfly position). This will make your body heavier and so you will have to work harder to perform the sit up!
See Jays’ fantastic effort below of 5 slow sit ups in 24 seconds!
Lockdown 2- Week 3- Task 3: Hand Stand Push Ups
Kneeling on a bench/ box, how many push ups can you complete in 1 minute.
Lockdown 2- Chest Press Challenge!
All you need is a bar, mop, brush or pole. Lay on your back with the pole in both hands, elbows at 90 degrees in line with your chest.
Push the pole up nice and fast, as far as you can.
To make it harder, get a partner to put a little bit of pressure on the pole.
How many can you do in 1 minute?
Good luck 😄 have a fab weekend all!
