E is for Exercise

Exercising is one of the most important ways to keep our bodies in tip top shape!

Kids should try to get AT LEAST 1 HOUR of exercise every day. So get up and move! Here are some ideas to get you moving!

  • Take a hike or a walk around your neighborhood or at a nearby park. Be sure to take a parent with you. You can search online to find great scavenger hunts to do on your walk. Here are some great ones we found.
  • Go play catch in the backyard.
  • Jump Rope
  • Run up and down the stairs in your house several times.
  • "What's Your Name" Fit activity for kids
  • WonderGrove Kids Fitness - Move your Body!
  • Visit our "Music & Movement" section on our Learning Activities page for some great ideas!
    • PE With Joe - Free Daily Kids Workouts on YouTube - Keep the kids moving during school shutdowns or isolation. Joe Wicks will be holding 30 minute long kids' workout classes on his You Tube channel, and he will be doing them every weekday at 9am during the school closures. You can choose to watch them at a later time as well.

    • SuperDeck : A multi-player Fitness Card Deck - You can use this deck to play a variety of games that are fun to play and incorporate some fitness exercises along the way. It can be used by physical educators when they are inside with limited space to help develop student fitness and teach proper exercise technique. It can be used by classroom teachers to give students a “brain break”. It can also be played by families at home to help kids develop fitness, to give students a break between other subjects while homeschool teaching or as a fun game on game night.
