Mission Statement: ?Address childhood obesity by creating a healthy, fun environment for children that keeps them moving in and outside the home? ? Nikki Ross Inda, Program Organizer/Health Educator
According to the USDA, children ages 6 -17 years of age should engage in 60 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity each day.
Let?s Move Together!
When it?s too hot outside or it?s raining, try these family fun activities:
? Active board games such as Guesstures or Taboo
? Wii Sports and Xbox Kinect and other game consoles are great for one or with two players
? Turn on your favorite music and dance to your own beat, ?just move it?!
For the little ones:
? Musical chairs are a great way to add fun active movement to their day.
? Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Sing it, start off slowly and speed up the song while reaching for those body parts.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose!
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
KNEES AND TOES!
On a budget, no problem, you can still be active:
Jog, jump rope and hula hoop in one spot without the equipment while watching your favorite television program or in between commercials. Kids can do this while watching cartoons.
