The Ontario Physical and Health Education Association’s (Ophea’s) activ8 program, for Kindergarten to Grade 8 students, is a curriculum-based, physical activity challenge program that helps children and youth of all abilities develop their fitness and skill levels.

activ8 consists of eight pre-planned lessons for each grade including warm-ups, cool-downs and fun physical activity challenges that can be implemented in any elementary school across Canada.

activ8 was developed by health and physical education specialists from across Canada. Since the establishment of the K-8 modules in 2003, over 3,800 schools and almost one million students have participated in the activ8 program.

Ophea would also like to acknowledge Active Healthy Kids Canada for their involvement in the development and delivery of the activ8 program.  Without their contribution, the reach and impact felt through this program would not have been possible.
