Activity

There are many ways that your child and family can be more active, in ways that best suit you and your budget. This includes activities from being creative in the home and outdoors to joining groups and classes at your local sports centre or community hall.

But do you know the recommended amount your child should be physically active?

• Pre-school children (1-5 years) are recommended to be active for 180 minutes a day
• Children and young people (5-18 years) are recommended to be active for at least 60 minutes per day
