OH Action for Healthy Kids: August News

OH Action for Healthy Kids: August News Bring Recess Home this August! It’s the last few weeks of summer and what better way to enjoy it then being outdoors? It’s time to turn off your TV, computer and other electronics, and bring recess home by playing schoolyard games, like kickball or Four Square, in your backyard. Remind kids that they should aim for 60 minutes of physical activity each day! Encourage your kids to keep track of their physical activity minutes and set goals with them. Check out Game On’s Health at Home activities for more ideas!
