S & S Printable May Fitness Calendar

The calendar is a great resource that teachers can share with students or parents can share with their kids and encourage them to stay active during the school year.

S & S teamed up with the Alliance For A Healthier Generation to create this fitness calendar for the month of May, 2023. Here is the link to the download:

May 2023 Printable Fitness Challenge Calendar

Students are challenged each day to participate in the activities listed on the calendar. For May, kids (and parents!) can practice simple fitness exercises during the week and on weekends. Plus, it includes some tennis and volleyball themed activities, which can be modified if students do not have the equipment. They can use a beach ball, or fill a balloon with sand. Another alternative is they can choose their own favorite sport in honor of National Physical Fitness & Sport Month. Or, they can make up their own activity.
