Let's Get Physical
|
|
|
| Introduction: |
|
| |
With the growing use of media in today's homes, children are spending less and less time outside. What are some creative ways to start getting kids back outside and active?
|
|
| Task: |
|
| |
In groups, create a campaign to motivate youth to be more active in their daily life.
-Create a poster-board with key points and information
-Create a 2 minute "commercial" promoting your campaign.
|
|
| Process: |
|
| |
-Groups will be split by the teacher.
-Use the resources to find key information as to what children need to do to live a healthy, active lifestyle and include that information in your work. (How's spent a day playing, etc.)
-Manage the work evenly between your group so everyone does their share.
- Try to think outside the box with your poster-board and campaign ads. Can you find a way to make them interactive with the rest of the class?
