MOVRS Podcast
We believe that outdoor play is powerful! Our podcast series dives into why kids need to run, roll, and roam around in nature. We talk with experts from around the world in the fields of movement, education and play. Every episode is uniquely engaging, inspiring schools and parents add more movement play in kids’ lives. Weʼre not just talking—weʼre starting a movement to bring back the joy of childhood. Join us, and letʼs get every kid outside, stomping in puddles and climbing trees. Itʼs time to move!
