Ready, Set, Go! Power Up Your Active Body! 🏃♂️⚡
Welcome energetic champions to Connect Plus 2! Unit 1 is all about moving our bodies, staying healthy, and feeling strong every single day. Our wonderful human bodies are built for joyful movement and active sports. We use our strong legs and feet to run fast on the track, jump high in the air, skip with a rope, and kick a football into the goal. We use our arms and hands to throw a basketball, catch a flying tennis ball, and swim gracefully through cool water. When we exercise regularly, our hearts beat with energy, our muscles grow stronger, and our minds feel refreshed. Let us lace up our sports shoes and get ready to move!
