Get Moving

Get yourself moving,

go outside and play!

It's good to exercise

each and every day.

Go for a walk,

hop, skip and run,

play a lively game

and have a little fun!

It's good for your body

to stretch and move.

Getting exercise can

help your health improve.

So don't just sit around

and waste the day away;

get up, get going and

make the most of your day!

Get Moving!

We all know how important exercise is, and we need to teach our children as well. It seems all too easy these days to spend free time occupied with the many electronic devices available, which leads to a lot of sitting and not much physical activity. I wrote a poem to encourage children (and adults as well) to get moving!

Get yourself moving,

go outside and play. 

It's good to exercise

each and every day.

             Go for a walk,               

hop, skip and run,

play a lively game

and have a little fun!

It's good for your body

to stretch and move.

Getting exercise can

help your health improve.

So don't just sit around

and waste the day away.

Get up and get going,

make the most of your day!
