Elementary Homeschool Tips: Physical Education for Elementary Homeschooling
No elementary homeschool program should be without a vigorous physical education and recess program. The regular outdoor play that children partake in:

• Contributes to cardiovascular health
• Teaches fundamental motor skills (such as hopping, skipping and jumping)
• Helps them to develop stamina and flexibility
• Helps young children relive stress
