BOKS offers resources and tools to get kids moving in fun ways throughout the day, whether they’re in the classroom, at home, or outside. For each situation, BOKS offers a variety of resources that will appeal to all school-aged kids. Above are some of the resources we offer. To access them in our BOKS Hub, sign up now!
The greatest part of the BOKS program is witnessing change of behavior from children and observing the formation of new friendships. Seeing kids come out of their shell and allowing exercise to create a sense of confidence is absolutely amazing!
