The free Activate movement videos, created by Joe Wicks and the team behind Hey Duggee, are a fun way to help children stay active during the summer holidays. The short, engaging videos are designed to get children moving through quick "movement breaks" that can be used at home, in holiday clubs, or on the go.
Research shows many parents worry about children spending too much time inactive during the holidays, when opportunities for physical activity can reduce compared with term time.
There are now 18 free Activate episodes available on:
• The Body Coach YouTube channel,
• BBC iPlayer.
What you can do:
• Share the Activate videos with parents and carers through newsletters, social media or parent communications. Find a range of resources from Campaign Resource Centre.
• Encourage families to use the short movement breaks throughout the summer holidays.
