The Adventure of Active Living
Did you know that running, jumping, and playing are like fuel for your brain and body? It’s true! When you’re active, your brain gets extra energy and focus, helping you feel sharper, stronger, and even a bit happier. Moving your body isn’t just fun—it’s helping you grow into your best self!
PART 1
Let’s Fuel Our Bodies and Feel Amazing Together!
Imagine your body as a team that needs fuel to do its best! Every time you run, jump, or play, you're giving that team the energy it needs to be happy and healthy. Feeling great—what we call “well-being”—is all about being active, feeling good, and staying connected with friends and family. What is the secret to feeling this way? Trying out all kinds of fun activities that you can enjoy with friends!
Team Up for Fun and Build Friendship!
When you play games, build forts, or explore with friends, something awesome happens: working together makes everything more exciting! Whether you’re making up games, creating a bike ramp, or building a fort, teamwork makes each moment more fun and helps you solve little challenges along the way. Every shared adventure adds joy and excitement to you and your friends’ lives!
Get Stronger, Healthier, and Happier with Every Move
Imagine your heart beating, your lungs filling with air, and your mind buzzing with happiness. That’s what happens every time you’re active! Moving your body keeps your heart and lungs strong and healthy, and it helps you feel happier and more focused. So whether it’s running, swimming, or just playing outside, your whole body will thank you!
So when you are not feeling happy next time try getting outside and running around or playing with friends. See what happens.
Build Awesome Skills Like Coordination
Have you seen a dancer move to the beat or a soccer player control the ball perfectly? These skills come from practicing over and over, helping your body learn to move smoothly and with confidence. Each time you skip, hop, or play, you’re building up coordination. Coordination is smooth movement and makes every activity easier and more fun. It’s like discovering a new super skill!
Find Joy in Every Move You Make
Think of an activity that makes you feel excited—is it dancing, riding your bike, or playing your favorite game or something else? Every time you feel that joy, you’re experiencing what makes being active so special. Each move builds on the others and increases your chances to feel happiness!
PART 2
The Power of Play and Teamwork
Playing with others—whether it’s tag, soccer, or building something cool—always feels more fun than doing it alone. Physical activities give you the chance to laugh, create memories, and feel closer to your friends. It’s one of the best parts of being active together!
Start Your Own Adventure into Active Living
How can you start? It’s easy! Try out different activities to find what makes you feel awesome. Whether it’s jumping on a trampoline, exploring nature, or playing sports, each one fills up your “well-being bucket.”
As you play, take a moment to notice how great it feels. You’ll see yourself and your friends smiling, cheering each other on, and feeling proud of what you’ve done together.
Remember, every new activity you try adds to your well-being bucket. So, grab your sneakers, invite some friends, and let your journey of active living begin!
Invite others to join you and your friends. That is important to share in the happiness.
