The NASPE position paper on comprehensive school physical activity programs encourages before-school physical activity, physical activities in the classroom to supplement physical education programs, and out-of-school-hour programs for students and parents. This session provides examples and demonstrations of before-school activities, classroom activities, and special events designed to promote physical activity and nutrition. Other examples of healthy lifestyle promotion will be presented, including cafeteria activities, newsletters, and suggestions for promoting physical activity on the playground.
