In this activity, learners explore what is and is not active play and how it contributes to a healthy body and mind. Making active play a routine part of every day is a key concept of the experience. Learners read about active play, make a list of active play choices, and then graph their preferences. This activity is followed by various physical activities learners can do (i.e. dancing to a song and then feeling the difference in their heartbeat). This activity is featured on pp. 18-19 of the "Health House: Food, Fitness, & Fun 24/7!" unit of study for K-2 learners.
