Children's Power Play!

The Children's Power Play! Campaign encourages 9-11 year-old children and their families to eat more fruits and vegetables and get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. The program provides information through schools, community youth organizations, supermarkets, food services, and the media. The Children's Power Play! Campaign is funded by USDA and provides free resources and materials to schools and after school programs where 50% or more of the students are enrolled in Free and Reduced-price meal programs. All others may still use the free resources by accessing the Children’s Power Play! Campaign.
