Summer Activities 5--I like to move it, move it! Learn about your body.

Get your parents to join you for this one! They need the exercise too! It's good to know what your body needs and to make sure you take care of your body. Through your whole life, you only have one body, so use it well!

What do you know about your body? How does your heart work? Why do you need to drink water? What happens to your body when you eat too much? What happens when you spend too much time outside when it is really hot? Being prepared with information about your body helps you to keep moving! Check these links to learn about how to take care of yourself!

How does my heart work? This site has a great video and quiz!

Explore Kids Health! Watch videos, play games, take quizes, and get ideas for some experiments you can do with your senses on this site. Remember to discuss any questions and concerns you have about your body with a parent! Have your parents check out this site with you so they will be right there when the questions come up! I especially like "mission nutrition" under games! Type a key word where it says "search here". Try typing "water". Kids health will find articles about why it is so important to drink water, especially when you're really active and it's hot outside.

Need some ideas for outdoor games? Try this site!

Okay, you've been on the computer long enough. Now get outside and play!
