16. Energize in 5,4,3,2,1

21. Take a break to grove

34. Imaginary Ropes

36. Exercise your answer

37. Make a life size blender (the kids are the fruits, veggies, and other ingredients!)

46. 3,2,1 Blast off!

49. Balance Break

Here is an exercise game to play inside also:

First pick one exercise for each corner or wall of the room (for example, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, sit ups, and squats.)

Then choose one leader.

Kids can choose from these actions:

Standing

Sitting

Laying Down

Kneeling

The leader faces away from the group and takes a guess or picks one the of the 4 actions. Whoever is doing that action is out and goes to one of the four corners and completes the exercises. So if the leader says “sitting” all the kids who are sitting go to a corner and choose which exercise they wish to do. Continue until all the players are out. The last one left is the new leader and the game starts again with everyone back in the center.
