Physical Recreation |
Break a sweat
The Physical Recreation section of the Award encourages you to improve your health and fitness, whatever your starting point. You could choose to do a team sport, solo sport or any healthy activity. It could be something you already do regularly, have tried before or something completely new to you. The Physical Recreation section should make you feel healthy and happy, and should help you build valuable team skills, self-esteem and confidence. It’s also great fun!
Examples of Physical Recreation Activities
Here’s a list of some Physical Recreation ideas that you could do or use as a starting point to create a program of your own. If you break a sweat, it counts! Just remember your activity must be active and/or athletic in nature, school gym class doesn't count!
