A Toolkit for School Director

9. Make physical activity cross-curricular

It is important to provide children with a variety of activities and times throughout the day when they can be active. Research has shown that children tend to have greater physical activity participation levels when they are encouraged to and provided with the opportunity to try different types of physical activity. By providing more opportunities, the children are more likely to find activities that they enjoy. This is important as preference for an activity may also be associated with changes in physical activity levels.

Learning Objective

The learning objective of this step is to give knowledge and skills to school directors how to promote sport in schools by implementing cross curricular activities.
