Exercise & Play

Understand the importance of physical activity and play

Why Exercise and Play Are Important

Exercise means moving your body. Running, jumping, climbing, and dancing are all types of exercise. When we play and exercise, our muscles get stronger, our heart stays healthy, and we feel happy.
Example

Fun Ways to Exercise

Play tag with your friends during break. Skip with a rope. Kick a ball on the field. Dance to your favourite song at home. Even walking to school is good exercise!
Note

Remember

Try to play outside and move your body every day. Exercise helps you sleep better at night and concentrate better at school.
