The Smart Moves - Physical Activity Programs in Queensland State Schools is a State Government initiative involving the Department of Education and Training, the Department of Communities - Sport and Recreation and Queensland Health. Smart Moves aims to increase student participation in physical activity and to improve the quality of that activity. Smart Moves is also a key strategy in the Toward Q2: Tomorrow's Queensland 2020 healthy children target to reduce obesity by one third. It is widely recognised that physical activity is essential for good health and wellbeing, enhances students' educational outcomes, supports their personal development and promotes lifelong active lifestyles.
The Smart Moves initiative is supported by the Smart Moves policy, CRP-PR-011: Smart Moves - Physical Activity Programs in Queensland State Schools which outlines the responsibilities of all schools. Planning for Smart Moves - Guidelines provides support for planning, including specific advice on the six components that schools need to address and an implementation tool which assists setting targets and reviewing the success of the initiative.

Relays can be conducted in a hall, on grass or on a hard surface. Using small teams (about 4) keeps more kids active. Most relays don't require special equipment and can be easily modified.
Try these to get started:
- Animal antics relay
- There and back
- Non stop relay
Use dodging activities to get kids active!
Dodging uses quick changes in direction to evade or chase an opponent. It can be used in activities to deceive the other person in games such as 'tag'.
Try these first:
- Dodgems
- It's a goal!
- Snatch the flag
