Active Healthy Summer
Elliott, Eloise
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v16 n3 p43-44 May 2005
Summer break is almost here for most elementary teachers and students. Warmer weather and additional free time to make choices create more opportunities to be physically active, whether home alone or out with friends and family. This article describes ways by which physical education specialists can encourage students' physical activity by providing reminders and incentives to participate in opportunities over the summer. In addition, these recommended strategies can encourage children to practice specific motor skills, leading to a higher level of skill development at the start of school in the fall.
