Fit Family Task Force Project - Rockford Public Schools

4. Exercise
Exercise can be fun!
The children learn that exercise can be fun. Multicultural music tapes are played
so the children can dance and move to the music. They learn something about
the culture that created the music first and are able to dance in groups. Students
discuss the benefits of regular exercise in helping to prevent the build-up of fat in
their arteries and to build strong bones. They also talk about the way exercise
makes them feel good as a result of increasing the flow of oxygen throughout the
body. They experiment with different forms of exercise including those from
cultures around the world.
