Hello BASE Kids & Families!
This is the third post in our BASE Staff Shares series. There are so many program topics and planned activities that your BASE Staff members love and share with you each day through after school and summer programs. One of the best things about BASE is that we can all bring a little about who we are and the things that we enjoy to BASE to share with others. It is a great way for all of us to have fun and learn new things together. You will continue to find BASE Staff Shares posted on our Facebook page, in the BASE Program Blog, and also in the BASE Kids Lab topic tab sections.
Miss Megan is a Site Coordinator at BASE Purdy.

Thank you for inspiring kids and teens through the work that you do Miss Megan! Click on the picture below and watch the video of Miss Megan taking you through the steps of making easy bread!

Specifically designed for kids ages 3 and up to engage in mindfulness and yoga practices, Cosmic Kids Yoga offers a variety of videos that your kids can follow along with at home. Videos are sorted by age and activity level, so you can choose from an easy beginner-level video for little kids or high-energy yoga videos for older kids. Your kids can also move along with dance videos and participate in short brain breaks to help shake up your daily routine.

This 13-minute-long video by Popsugar Fitness is aimed at getting the entire family to move together. Kids and adults can follow along and do jumping jacks, squats, and more while focusing on working out as a family. Although the video itself is relatively short, your kids can practice the skills learned within the video long after it's over.
