60 Minutes of physical activity a day

Did you know that it is recommended that children take part in 60 minutes of physical activity a day?
These 60 minutes can be broken down into different times throughout the day:
- 5 blocks of 10 minutes,
- 4 blocks of 15 minutes or
- 1 block of 30 minutes then 2 blocks of 10 minutes
These activity breaks are great for burning excess energy, which helps to reduce challenging behaviour and refocuses the mind when learning.
With children spending most of their time at home we have some helpful links with advice that can help break up the day, get them moving and will get the most out of their home learning.
- The Daily Mile at home setting out weekly challenges to keep children active throughout the week.
- Change4life have lots of activities and are linked to children’s loved Disney characters.
- Youth Sports Trust have some great 60 second activities for behaviour distractions and reengaging the mind.
- Or how about starting the day with PE with The Body Coach and get about 30 minutes done first thing in the morning.
