Active Kids: Anytime, Anyplace


Description:

It is not always possible to have access to a gymnasium or the outdoors. Therefore, to make physical activity a part of daily life, we have to make use of the classroom and other limited spaces. This practical resource was designed for teachers, community organization leaders, care givers, and parks and recreation leaders. "Active Kids" provides a wide variety of activities for children ages 5 - 14 that are fun, develop fitness and skills, and are easy to implement any time, any place by anyone.

The "Active Kids" resource package includes: a segmented 37 minute video outlining the need for daily physical activity, and demonstrating fun activities in various limited space settings; a 60 minute cassette of selected motivational music to accompany the activities; and a teacher/instructor guide that introduces active living, and offers a complete description of each activity.
