Keep Active
"When children and young people participate in active play this can boost physical activity in many children and young people, especially if they live a sedentary lifestyle. Being active helps them develop fundamental movement skills such as coordination and balance, can assist in their mental health and burn off calories." Play Scotland, 2020 |
