 Keeping Active At School
Here are some ideas and activities that can keep you active while at school. You might even find some ideas here that you can share with your teachers and your friends. Look for opportunities to learn new games and skills during recess or breaks.
Ideas for Kids to increase physical activity at school:
Between classes see how many times you can walk up and down the steps. See if you can do 10 extra flights a day!
Does your school have an outdoor track or large playground area? Get some friends together and walk around it once or twice before you start a playground game.
Do you have a frisbee? Lots of kids play frisbee and practice frisbee golf in local parks. If you have one, take it to school and get a couple of friends to play with you.
Tips for Teachers: This tip sheet from the CDC helps teachers find activities that will help kids become more physically active in school.
