Choosy Kids Club

Choosy Kids Club    

Age: 6 - 11 yrs
At Choosy Kids Club, emphasis is on promoting healthy, active lifestyles. WVU students, serving as personal trainers for the children, monitor such things as blood pressure and changes in height and weight. The children learn a variety of strength development activities and are encouraged to make healthy choices about being active and eating nutritious foods. The children in Choosy Kids Club also participate in vigorous physical activity. They can choose from rope jumping, roller blading, power walks, many games, fun activities, and equipment like rowers and bikes. The WVU students and the children learn from each other. At the conclusion of each fun lesson, everyone sings the Choosy theme song and then finds out what their "activity homework" will be for reinforcing the lesson at home. Most importantly, everyone has a great time at Choosy Kids Club!

Everyday’s got a thousand way’s to stay busy to spend my time
But I’m makin sure I do what’s right for my body, my heart, and my mind

And there’s nothing better than getting’ together with my
