fit-athon Introduction

Introduction

Welcome back to fitClub! During this session we are going to have fun and celebrate what you have learned about being fit.

Today we are going to play 3 games, then you will receive your fitClub Certificate!

• The fit-Hunt
• Human fit-Check
• A Bonus Activity—Kids' Choice

Let's do a quick review of fit:

• fit has 4 parts: recharge, mood, food, and move.
• Your energy (recharge) and your motivation (mood) influence your choices.
• Food is about making healthy food and beverage choices to fuel your body and brain.
• Move is about making the choice to move your body. Moving strengthens your body and lights up your brain!

Q: Who wants to share some of the fit choices they made since our last session? 
A: Recognize students for their healthy choices with comments that also recognize the parts of fit. Instead of responding with simply "good job," give encouraging responses, for example:

• "Wow, your energy is great since you are getting enough sleep."
• "Your body is getting a lot of great nutrition from your food choices."
• "I can tell you are really thinking about your feelings and emotions."
• "You remembered that being fit is about having enough energy and the motivation to make healthy nutrition and physical activity choices."

During this session we are going to do some fun activities to celebrate what we have learned about the fit connection.
