YOU CAN get active

I am 100% sure that you will love this book.

I loved the book YOU CAN Get Active because the book showed many activities and it even shows you how to do them. The book is great to read when you are bored because it is full of so many activities that you can do indoors or outdoors. All of the activities are much better than watching TV all day because it is better for your mental health, way better. You could be playing all day because all the activities are so much fun.

In the book it even says who holds the world record for doing the longest long jump, the man's name is Mike Powell who jumped 8.95m. I loved this book so much that I would take it everywhere you could do an activity, because the book would probably tell me how to do it.

I am 100% sure that you will love this book. I would rate this book 5 stars because it's just too good. The book is a great way to keep active and stay fit and also includes the two types of exercises aerobic and anaerobic. Reading this book made me less bored and much happier. During the times when lockdown occurs books like this one will make you feel like it is an ordinary, common day.

A great book to help Key Stage Two children find different activities when they are bored, instead of playing video games! We loved doing it together!

YOU CAN get Active is a book full of 50 different activities to help children find other ways to entertain themselves, rather than being stuck on video games. When we did some of the activities, we found them fun but tiring, meaning we had a good night's sleep. We particularly enjoyed running because it meant we could get rid of our excess energy. Some children may also like skipping, gymnastics, or karate as well as some of the other activities included. Some of the activities do not need lots of resources which means children can do them without pestering their parents for money for things they need. However, there are quite a few that we were unable to do, such as rowing and paddle boarding. The activities were clear to follow and the book was easy to read. There were also some pictures and illustrations to help children understand and there were also pages that you could fill in.

We would recommend this book to our classmates and other children in Key Stage Two so that they are not constantly on their computer or phone. This book would also be good for children who do not have video games so that they can find something to do when they have finished their homework. If we could give this book a rating, we would give it a 7 out of 10. To make it a 10, we think there should be more activities that do not require many resources so that more children can do them.

I enjoyed this book because it gave me lots of cool ideas on how to get active and it showed pictures and simple ideas for beginners.

This book is all about the importance of physical exercise and how to make it fun whilst doing so. There are places to record what you have done and also to design routes for walking or running. I enjoyed this book because it gave me lots of cool ideas on how to get active and it showed pictures and simple ideas for beginners. I love this book so much that I would like to actually buy the book for myself. If you like doing exercise but find it a bit boring sometimes then this is the book for you. I had never read any books by this author but once I had read the first page of the book I thought immediately that it was excellently written. I would rate it 5/5 and give it a huge thumbs up.

Lots of fun ideas of things to do!

This book is awesome! It gives you loads of different ideas for activities to do and I liked this tick list at the start too. There are lots of pictures and explanations which make it more interesting. My favourite idea was go-karting. I'd never heard of geocaching before but that sounds really interesting so I would like to give that a go! There were quite a few ideas that I've tried and some I haven't. Some ideas were free and some you would have to pay or go somewhere special to try them out. I now have lots of new ideas of things to try with my mum and my brother!
