Active for Life Raising Physically Literate Kids

Resources to support teachers and parents in promoting health, well-being and physical activity.We know the importance of physical activity in our daily lives and we will have to be creative through this new normal of being at home. With classes cancelled, students won't be getting 30 minutes of daily physical activity. We know that physical activity is linked to positive mental health outcomes, so now more than ever, when people are in isolation and aren't getting the social connections we all crave, it's important to get moving - for everyone! At this time we are offering a selection of our resources to families at no cost. We have free downloadable resources at our store. Also consider sharing the huge database options at Alberta Active After School! There are three different databases/game libraries, with activities that can be sorted by space size, group size, age, and other filters. Arts and other types of non-physical activities will be added shortly. Lastly, there is our Ever Active Schools YouTube channel, which has tons of videos showing how to play some of our most popular games. |
Relationships: That’s What Matters Most Right Now
COVID-19 and Family Violence Support
Isolation is a risk factor for family violence, so during this time of physical social distancing, we encourage everyone to stay socially connected. Consider staying connected with family, friends, colleagues and community however you can: through phone, text, video chat or social media.
Please note, the Family Violence Info Line will continue to help Albertans get connected to the right information and supports. They are doing their best to meet the increased demand. However, Albertans may experience higher than normal wait times to reach someone.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused significant disruption to businesses everywhere. Of course, while everyone works to ensure key business functions remain operational and that employees and families everywhere are safe, there is another set of individuals working just as hard to disrupt our efforts: cyber criminals.
