There are many fun and simple ways to be physically active. Children can play games like tag, hopscotch, hide and seek, or ride a bicycle. Dancing, swimming, skipping rope, or joining a sports team are other great options. Even walking the dog, helping in the garden, or climbing stairs instead of using a lift are good forms of exercise.
Schools also play a key role by encouraging physical activity through physical education (PE) classes, sports events, and playground time. Teachers and parents should motivate children to be active by making exercise enjoyable rather than a chore. Playing with friends, listening to music while moving, or setting small goals can make physical activity more exciting.
