Physical Education Writing Prompts for Students — Exercise isn’t just for people who want to lose weight – it’s also an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To help celebrate the benefits of physical education, check out these 51 exercise-themed journal prompts.
In addition to physical education at school, we love to encourage parents to work out with their children in order to teach them the importance of exercise and physical activity.
Fun, engaging choices such as riding bikes, hiking, playing ball, or going paddle boarding are just a few physical activities that are great for families to do together.
Plus…
With more children reaching levels of obesity, it’s important for kids to understand the benefits of an active lifestyle.
Physical education class at school provides an outlet during the school day a few days a week (sometimes even less), but a regular schedule of physical activity has endless benefits.
