Looking to get the kids outside and moving this summer? Well, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants to help.
It has started a national campaign named "VERB. It's what you do" to get kids up and active, rediscovering the outdoors. The campaign is targeting children between the ages of 9 and 13, but kids of all ages benefit from physical activities that allow them to discover new interests while promoting healthy living.
For activities, games, interesting facts and tips go to www.VERBnow.com The site also offers kids cool freebies such as printable stencils and stickers.
For parents there is www.VERBparents.com, which gives family activity ideas each month. For more information on the VERB campaign, go to www.cdc.gov/youthcampaign
