Discuss the importance of exercise with the children. Read the book Bunnies And Their Sports by Nancy Carlson and invite the children to join the outdoor exercise class, during outdoor time. Plan to have special guest fitness teachers such as the school director, a family member, a local cheerleader, a high school or college track star, a high school dance team, or a local gym teacher. Make sure the children understand the importance of a warmup and cool-down routine. Also talk about the importance of drinking water to help their bodies cool down from the fitness activities.
