Contents
Your body works better when
you are more active. The level of
energy you have during the day
increases, too. Being active even
helps you sleep better at night.
Practice basic physical skills
often and you will become better
at them! Traveling skills include
running and jumping. Controlling
objects, such as a ball using
different parts of your body, is
another important skill.
Learning to
balance your
body is a skill that
will help you with
many activities.
