What do circus arts and volunteering to support a cause have in common? Both are providing an opportunity for kids to be active. In this issue you’ll find out why one Ontario mom/Group Exercise Instructor/volunteer continues to give time to organize large fundraising events for GoodLife Kids Foundation in her community. And in Saskatoon how physical activity through circus arts is positively impacting kids who just aren’t into being active in the traditional way. As always, we hope you’ll be inspired by their stories.

Where are kids learning to walk on stilts, juggle and so much more?
THE CROCODILES ARE HUNGRY –
Great played in a gym or outside- playing field is now the swamp.
Have 3 - 4 players in the swamp area as crocodiles. Scatter some bean bags throughout the swamp, these represent stones. The remaining players are at one end of the playing field, just outside the swamp. Players try to get to the other end of the swamp without being tagged by the crocodiles. Players may step on the stones for 5 seconds then must move on. While on the stone the player cannot be tagged. If a player is tagged they become a crocodile. Have some means of quickly identifying who are the crocodiles.
