Bianca was just watching TV when this happen. The channel is doing breaks of programming through the day so kids stop watching TV and get to move and play. What do you think?
 
We are a no screens on the weekend family. Yeah, I know - I'm on a screen, but I just finished baking a huge batch of Unicorn Poop Cookies (google it!). We're getting ready to head out to our town's new Apple Fest... then it's off to the Eagle's Club for Bike Night (motorcycles, beer, and potluck dinner).

It's a good idea to remind kids to get up and move. Even if they cannot get outdoors, they can get up DO something. Besides, if I remember correctly, Nickelodeon only does this one day each year.

Yes, it was only today, they are after all making money from our kids watching tv. I still do like they do this even if it is just one day. All you need is to do things ONE time to make it a habit. LOL!!!

Ha ha! YES!!!

It's a nice idea, but I'm guessing most kids will just switch channels or turn on video games.

I agree, but for the little ones still kind of works.
 
I think it's a sad state of affairs that American TV has to program exercise into their scheduling so kids leave the screen for a minute, but if it works for just one kid, then go for it.

Several kids' shows have exercise built into them. One of my DD's favorites is 'Bo On the Go' which has the kids dance to give the MC energy to complete her missions. Another show is 'Tree Fu Tom' which has the kids do certain motions throughout the show to give magic to the MC.
