<STRONG> Work out a workout</STRONG>. What can you do to keep fit? With a partner, decide what exercises will be in your routine.

<STRONG>S-t-r-e-t-c-h!</STRONG> Cut cards from posterboard with Crayola scissors. Use Crayola Markers to draw simple figures doing stretches. Use arrows and words to show what to do. One stretch for two is to sit facing each other legs apart, feet touching, holding each other’s wrists. Gently take turns pulling back and forth.<STRONG> Never pull or push beyond what’s comfortable and stop if anything hurts. </STRONG>
4.
<STRONG>Design activity boards</STRONG>. On recycled foam produce trays, draw simple figures doing each activity, such as jumping jacks or running in place. Write the number of times you want to do each exercise. Decorate the edges to make a set. With Crayola School Glue, attach two craft sticks to the back of each board. Air-dry the glue. Roll Crayola Model Magic into balls. Press craft sticks into the balls so your boards will stand up. Air-dry overnight.
