Kids need movement – not just to stay healthy, but to build strong bodies, boost their mood, and support their focus and learning. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), children should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But with busy schedules, screen time, and weather challenges, it is not always easy.

That’s where this cheat sheet comes in.

This FREE printable guide is packed with fun, low-prep movement ideas that can be done indoors or outdoors, year-round. Whether you are inside on a rainy day or just trying to limit screen time, these quick activities help get kids moving – without the need for fancy equipment or a lot of space.

How and When to Use This Cheat Sheet:

  • Busy after school? Try a quick game from the “Simple Ways to Move” section.
  • Rainy or cold outside? Try activity ideas to move year-round.
  • High-energy kids? Set up an obstacle course or roll the movement dice game.
  • Need calm, focused energy? Try the kid-friendly yoga flow for grounding and stretching.
  • Want to replace screen time? Swap 30 minutes of video games for dance breaks or family walks.
  • Tired of the same routine? Keep it fun with silly movements like pretend jump rope or hopscotch in the hallway.
