| Choose Your Move-An After School Game To Promote Physical Activity in 9- to 13-Year Olds |
| Learn about a new program titled Choose Your Move. It was developed with CDC funding and is aimed at promoting fun as well as physical activity. Teams of students visit various countries (or stations) where they learn something about the country, a sport or activity for which it is famous, and muscles that are used in the sport or activity. With the help of clear, picture-based posters, they also learn several exercises to strengthen those muscles. The students then choose, on their own, which exercises to do keeping track of points in a passport over an eight-week period. |
