"Healthy Heart & Lungs" Unit - CAHOOTS KIDFIT LESSON PLANS
This play-based curriculum provides activity options for two weeks of lesson plans. Children will participate in active games, sports, and gymnastics while learning to move, love their bodies and develop gross motor skills. Perfect for group settings (big or small), our lessons foster both social and emotional learning.
Unit 3, "Healthy Heart & Lungs" introduces children between the ages of 3-7 to their heart and lungs; to be able to identify what and where they are, what functions they serve in the body, and how to take care of them.
Each Cahoots KidFit "Flexible Format" lesson plan is customizable in length and frequency, allowing you to decide how long each class is and adapt to how many classes you need per week (anywhere from 1 to 5).
