Wiggle, jump and learn!
Preschoolers learn that moving their bodies is fun and keeps them healthy. They practice big skills like jumping, hopping, running, skipping and stretching, and they start to notice what exercise does: hearts beat faster, we breathe harder, and we feel warm. They also learn simple healthy habits like drinking water, eating fruits and vegetables, and resting. Music and games are the perfect teachers at this age. The click comes when a child puts a hand on their chest after jumping and says, "My heart is going so fast!"
Little kids learn best when their whole body is involved. These moves are pure fun.
Play a fitness song and do every move together. Then play it again and let one child be the leader. Music sets the pace and makes it feel like a party.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).
Try it withBody Part Bingo ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Give kids pictures of foods to sort into "grow foods" and "sometimes foods." Talk about how good food gives us energy to run and play. Keep it positive and never call foods bad.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Preschoolers should be active throughout the day with lots of active play, both planned and free. Short bursts of movement add up quickly.
Jumping, hopping, running, dancing, stretching and climbing are all great. Simple games like Follow the Leader and freeze dance build skills and keep it fun.
Keep it simple and positive: move your body, drink water, eat fruits and veggies, and get good sleep. Songs and picture sorts make the ideas easy to remember.
Young kids can only sit still for a few minutes. A quick movement break helps them reset and get ready to listen again.
