Make a game out of heart-healthy exercises

We're in for one scorching summer. So what do you do with a house full of bored kids in desperate need of some exercise when it feels like the surface of the sun outside and there isn't a water oasis nearby?

Check out this tutorial for making a "Heart Healthy Exercise Game" from Marie of Make and Takes. A great and simple idea that turns essential exercise moves into a type of beanbag toss. I love how she's even crafted number cards for movement reps. and perhaps to practice some number recognition if your little workout partner happens to just be learning them. The cute heart-shaped bean bag is the icing on the cake reinforcing the message that taking care of our hearts can be fun.
