Hey Grownups!
Kids are 100% of our future - Let’s help them READ MORE, LEAD MORE, and MOVE MORE!
Childhood sets the stage for lifelong habits that shape health and well-being. Unfortunately, our kids are spending less time reading, and more time indoors and on screens, missing out on the physical, psychological, and social-emotional benefits that result from early literacy and playing outside.
We can do more to encourage early literacy, social-emotional learning, and regular physical activity for our kids—Active Kids Adventures can help!
Creating kid ACTIVists ...
What if our kids could lead the way to a healthier future? What if they didn’t have to wait for adults to make changes? Imagine a world where children are empowered through storytelling to overcome the barriers that stand in the way of health-enhancing movement in their lives—in their friend groups, neighborhoods, schools, and communities.
Welcome to the world of Active Kids Adventures!
AKA stories are fun, educational, inspiring, and filled with important life lessons. They blend evidence-based approaches with captivating stories that motivate kids to read more, lead more, and move more. Through relatable, diverse kid characters and creative problem solving, children learn the joy and benefits of reading, being active and how they can advocate on their own terms to take charge of their health and build a brighter future—one story, step, hop, jump, wheel, and skip at a time.
