Welcome to the ICAN Run Jump Throw at Home!
These resources/ lessons plans were inspired by using the Run Jump Throw Wheel Athletics Canada NCCP Teaching Resource.
Each Monday starting March 30th, 2020 we will release the weekly lesson plan. Each lesson plan advances in physical literacy for 9 weeks, and the 10th lesson culminates into the ICAN Games.
These resources were developed for you. Moms, Dads, Teachers, Aunts, Uncles… Everyone who would like to have track and field inspired physical literacy in a simple 10 lesson plan. Each lesson includes adaptations for physical limitations, as well as, Outdoor or Indoor modifications for you.
… Now keep in mind you may need to use some creativity in your at home resources because you may not have everything listed in our plans. Substitute anything you feel works.
