Physical activity benefits kids physical AND mental health!

The amount of physical activity children need depends on their age. Children ages 3 through 5 years need to be active throughout the day. Children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 need to be active for 60 minutes every day.

To help meet these guidelines, you can encourage children to participate in activities that are age-appropriate, enjoyable, and offer variety.
