Lesson
Kids will learn how to incorporate fun movement ideas into our daily lives.
Move is physical activity. To move is to participate in a sport, play, exercise, or do a leisure activity such as walking. Health experts recommend that youth get at least an hour of physical activity each day, but you do not have to do it all at once! Choosing to move throughout one’s day will benefit both body and brain.
As a group, ask kids to brainstorm a list of their favorite ways to move their bodies.
