3.9 Advertise for Exercise
This is Lesson 3.9 (“Advertise for Exercise!”) from the Grow Your PALS Program Guide, part of the National FFA Mentoring Program’s Exercise unit. In this large-group lesson, students learn the positive effects of exercise and the importance of stretching by creating an advertising brochure for their own health club, identifying major muscle groups, the heart and lungs, and stretching practices. Activities include a shoe game, muscle diagram coloring, a stretching poem, brochure creation, and a gallery walk, with a comic-book evaluation assessed by rubric.
