In today’s screen obsessed culture, kids are the least active generation in history. This sedentary lifestyle is negatively impacting both their physical, mental and social health. BOKS is a physical activity program designed to reverse this public health crisis by getting kids active and establishing a lifelong commitment to health and fitness. Built on the science and research documented in the book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, BOKS provides free physical activity curriculum, training and support to communities looking to establish and maintain impactful fitness and nutrition programs serving the whole child. Having grown from a single elementary school to a global initiative, BOKS is scalable and its impact is supported by scientific research. BOKS envisions a world in which movement is a foundational part of every child’s day.

What is BOKS
Our Flagship Program
What is BOKS?
BOKS is a free physical activity program for kids of all ages and abilities.
The BOKS program was designed to provide more opportunities for kids from early childhood through high school to get moving throughout the day with movement breaks, games, activities and more!
Why BOKS?
Kids are not getting enough physical activity.
Less than one-quarter (24%) of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day – the daily recommended amount according to the CDC.
