On President’s day our child care company hosted  a training for all staff on CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health). CATCH is designed to promote physical activity and healthy food choices, in elementary school-aged children.Visit the CATCH website HERE to learn more.

One activity from CATCH I was introduced to that I thought was great was Alphabet stretching! It’s pretty simple, can be done indoors, and gets kids moving! Here is how you play: Pick a letter of the alphabet, then move your body in any way your can to make the shape of that letter! Below is a picture I found on Educared called “Acrobatic alphabet”  that had an A-Z diagram on some ideas on how to make a letter with your body. Some take two people and some are nearly impossible, but at least give you some ideas!
