In order to help promote student wellness, Council Rock is providing weekly optional student wellness activities for all grade levels that can be completed either individually or with families on Fridays. The activities address the physical health, mental health, and social connectedness of our students.

1.) Challenge yourself with this seven-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout for kids, including seven fun exercises.

2.) Check out this website to learn how to make different types of fidgets with various household items, including old t-shirts, paper, dice, or pipe cleaners.

3.) Draw your friend a picture, send them a joke, and/or a little note, and mail it to them the old-fashioned way! Ask them to write you back and send it in the mail, too. This keeps you in touch with your family and friends and puts the fun into waiting for the mail to come!

1.) Follow along with the Footloose dance moves in the popular gaming format of Just Dance. https://youtu.be/PDJKQxekPYs

2.) Make Glow-in-the-Dark slime (or even just white slime) by following the directions in this link and using glue, baking soda, and contact lens solution. https://youtu.be/vfFkGx3FhAU
