Personal Fitness Design — Build Your Own Workout
The child designs their own complete workout routine — warm-up, main exercises, cool-down — explaining their reasoning for each choice. Parent observes body awareness, exercise knowledge, self-assessment of fitness strengths and weaknesses, and the ability to design a balanced physical routine. This reveals both physical literacy and the executive function involved in planning and self-regulation.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Clear a space large enough for exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, or stretching. Have pen and paper available if the child wants to write the plan down. A yoga mat is helpful but not essential. The parent should be prepared to do the workout alongside the child — this is collaborative, not directive.
