People live and work in a sedentary position for most of the day. As we sit, wrist pain, sore neck and backs and stiff joints occur. Stretching is the perfect solution for long periods of inactivity and holding still. Whether you have two minutes or ten minutes to spare, stretching should be included as an important part of your day.

To make planning physical activities easier for in motion teachers, snacktivities have many game and activity ideas with instructions.
The focus of this resource is on small space activities that require verylittle or no equipment and can be done spontaneously and in short time intervals during the school day right in a classroom, hallway or boot room.
The resource is split into the following sections:
- Flexibility/Stretching
- Strengthening
- Cardiovascular
- Combination Activities
- “Moving Around”
- Hallway
- Miscellaneous – “Special Preparation”
Each activity has a key on the page that indicates the suitable grade levels for the activities. Some activities may require making up cards or developing materials which will initially take preparation time, but these can be used over again and shared with other teachers!
It is suggested that balloons, beach balls and newspaper balls would be useful items to have in the classroom at all times. Newspaper balls are constructed by crumpling newspapers or recycle paper and sealing the ball with packing tape. So be daring and get yourself and your class “in motion”! Most of all, have FUN!
The development of the Walking School Bus Guide was sponsored by Safety Kids Canada and FedEx.
The information for this guide was taken from the websites of Go for Green, the State of Western Australia, and Road Safe Auckland. For more information contact the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute at 655-2512 or email: info@preventioninstitute.sk.ca

To assist youth to become more active, in motion has developed the walk/jog club resource. The goal of this club is to encourage inactive to moderately active students to incorporate physical activity into their everyday lives. This club is geared to individuals that want to improve their fitness levels but may not be involved in the schools physical education or athletic programs. Our hope is that every student will feel comfortable participating in the walk/jog club and that the experience will positively influence their knowledge, attitudes and lifestyle behaviors.
This resource package includes information to assist teachers or students with leading the Walk/Jog program. The leader does not need to have any special experience, just an interest in helping students or staff get more physical activity. A basic 5-week walk-jog training program is enclosed within this package and all participants are encouraged to participate at a level they are comfortable. Remember the idea is to have fun while being “in motion”. We encourage you to try to bring the group together 2-3 times per week. The club should be free to participants but they will be responsible for their attire, shoes, and water bottle. In addition to leading the group, we also encourage you to distribute some of the educational information from this resource or possibly include an educational in-service for your club.
