Don’t plan on your kids spending too much time in one sitting at the new Small Step Kids website. If they do, they’ll get a message to get moving and come back later. And the fun content is well worth the return trip.
Features include funny commercials, cool screen savers, and play time with Shrek. Plus fun quizzes and games help kids learn a lot about diet and exercise. They can even send in their own ideas on how to be healthy and fit. With so much to see and do, it may be tough to want to leave the computer. But if kids stay on the site too long, these reminders to stay active pop up to encourage them to get moving:
- “If we catch you hanging out here too long, we’ll tell you to get up and do something active! You can always come back tomorrow.”
- “It’s just as important to do something active away from the computer every day.”
- “Exercise your brain with this short quiz. When you’re done, jump up and get your parents, or skip to get your brothers and sisters, or run to get your friends to take the quiz too!”
Which reminds me, it’s time for ME to take a break from this computer sitting stuff…
I don’t even have kids and I love this site! Great message!
I know – me, too!
Sounds like something good for kids! Thanks, Sahar!
