Need help with my writing homework on Keeping Children Engaged in Physical Activity. Write a 250 word paper answering; A recorded 61.5% of children 9-13 years old d not participate in physical activities outside of school, while 22.6% do not engage in any physical activity during free time. with this data it is more important that teachers classroom teaching style should inject games and other activity that would require physical movement so that at the end of the day, if you add the time spent in games, the time would amount to 30 minutes, which is the minimal amount of time that children should spend in physical activities. Every school should take steps towards safeguarding child’s health through the promotion of physical activities similar to what the parents, teachers, and students association in Michigan did by promoting physical education opportunities – skip rope, biking, jumping, basketball, classroom games, and the likes – within the curriculum to positively impact the child’s mental, emotional, social, and physical growth (“Promoting of Quality Physical Education” 2004).
