Exercise, Rest, and Sleep

Exercise, Rest, and Sleep

What students learn

Students learn that exercise, rest, and sleep all help the body. Begin with Exercise: Move Your Body Every Day to see the body get active, then use Exercise Review: Jump, March, and Stretch to practice the movement words.

Why it matters

Movement builds strength, and sleep helps the body grow and feel ready for the next day. Sleep: Rest Helps Your Body Grow gives students a calm reminder that bedtime is part of staying healthy.

Learn the idea

The body needs time to move and time to rest. Exercise helps muscles work, and sleep gives the body time to recover. The two exercise moments and the bedtime moment work together to show that healthy living includes both action and rest.

Try it

Have the child do a few safe movement actions, then name one bedtime habit that helps them rest.

Parent guide

Keep movement safe and playful. Let the child stretch, march, and jump in place, then connect the activity to bedtime so they can see that rest is part of a healthy routine.
