"I love Movetrition because I like to be strong. I like to eat red fruits and vegetable. I like to exercise." -Abel, age 6, El Roble Elementary School, Gilroy, CA

Movetrition at St. Elizabeth's Day Home

Movetrition is an 8 week program designed to teach children and their families the benefits of exercise and eating fruits and vegetables. Using costumes and animation, healthy food comes to life right before their eyes!

During each 50 minute class, children are introduced to a new character that teaches them the benefits of fruits and vegetables while engaging them in interactive activities that teach age-appropriate motor skills such as running, jumping, and balance.

Each week children are read a story and bring home a Family Educational Handout aligned with the weekly themes. Families are encouraged to cook healthy recipes and play new games together.

Results

“Movetrition has been an excellent component to our Pre-K curriculum. The children love learning about eating healthy and exercising. The songs, activities, games and books have all been age appropriate. The children really connected and share their wisdom and knowledge they gained from the program. The costumes were marvelous and the animation was contagious to all the children. I also love the fact that parents had recipes, nutrition values of food and important information about serving size. Excellent, Excellent program, Love it.”
