This collection of more than 50 super-fun exercises and games motivates students to get in shape while also helping them focus their attention and develop self-control. The activities are designed to fit into key parts of the daily schedule-class meetings, independent seatwork, walking in the halls, and recess.

Includes fun extensions for reinforcing content-area learning, such as “Arm-to-Arm Estimation” and “Punctuation Martial Arts,” plus a big, full-color teaching poster. For use with Grades 1-5.
