Let's Play!
>> Main topics: I love to play! My belief is that if adults spent less time on their screens, the impact would be contagious. Families with active parents often have active children. If you are not a parent, you can still be a role model. The next time you supervise recess, join in and play with the students. The next time you are at the playground, climb up and use the slide. The next time you are going for a walk, invite your neighbor, friend, or family member.
