4-H YES Club

Author: Molly Jordan

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Health 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Health and Wellness for all ages

Outcome: Initial Outcome

According to the CDC children in Kentucky are less likely to be physically active for at least 4 days a week than other children nationwide. Seeing this as an issue locally, 4-H Youth Development Agent Molly Jordan, FCS Agent Shannon Smith, and FRYSC teamed up to provide the Youth, Exercise, Sports Club to 4th and 5th grade students at Taylor Elementary. During this program for four weeks, the students were engaged in healthy eating lessons, provided with a nutritional snack, and participated in 60 minutes of physical activity. At the beginning of the club each student was presented with a pedometer, a charm bracelet, and a step tracker. They were assigned to walk at least 1000 steps daily in order to achieve a charm to add to their bracelet. Each of the 15 students involved received charms EVERY time the club met.  At the close of the program each of the 15 students (boys and girls), increased their daily physical activity and movement by 4000 steps.
