CHARACTER EDUCATION & FITNESS!
What IS the PowerMoves Kids Program?
PowerMoves Kids is the FIRST classroom program to combine Character Education and Fitness. "PMK" is helping children stay focused and on-task, while having fun moving their bodies to these easy-to-follow stretching postures.
Character Education + Fitness = PMK
We know that true change is an "inside job." To change Childhood Obesity statistics, each child has to change from the "inside" - it's about more than just running laps or eating more veggies.
PowerMoves Kids is a Character Education Curriculum for PK-8th grades - with Health, Nutrition & Fitness information, too!
All in easy-to-follow pieces for the Classroom.
Designed for Classroom Teachers, educators in all settings are finding PMK helpful for transitions between subjects as well as for group focus and discipline. While NO physical education training is necessary, PE teachers are using PowerMoves Kids postures as an alternative to yoga, and the PMK Curriculum as a way to add Character Education to their PE class.
By reciting a character-building quote with each gentle stretch, children are being taught character education at the same time—exercising their minds and emotions while exercising their bodies—and teachers are seeing the difference it's making in their PK-8th grade students!
PMK postures become mnemonic devices to help anchor in empowering life principles such as respect, trustworthiness, honesty and self-control.
As an added bonus, since PowerMoves Kids is fun and the postures, quotes and affirmations fit neatly into the school day, children are learning to take healthy stretch breaks for energy (instead of junk food breaks!).
