Children need at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity every day to support overall health. Most children fall short of this goal. Lack of physical activity can impact a child's ability to do well in school. It can affect their memory, attention span, school attendance and grades.
Along with recess and physical education (P.E.) class, a 3-5 minute "brain break" can help students be more active. Not sure where to get started? Download this booklet for 50+ classroom brain breaks. Review the additional documents for helpful tips.
