Moving My Body I love to move my body.
Moving my body is important because it helps me stay healthy, strong, and happy.
It’s also really fun to do!
There are lots of ways I can move my body.
I can:
Dance to music
Run, skip, or jump outside
Play sports or games
When I move my body, I help it grow big and strong.
Moving is great for my:
Bones
Muscles
Heart
Brain
I try to move my body for at least 30 minutes every day.
Sometimes, when I play outside, I move even longer.
Moving my body also gives me energy. It helps me feel calm, focused, and ready to play!

Social stories use simple langauge and clear visuals to walk your autistic child through situations like new routines, transitions, or social interactions. Reading them together ahead of time helps reduce anxiety, builds understanding, and makes unfamiliar moments feel more predictable and manageable.
