The Get Animated Tour is in it’s fifth year this year. This 40-city tour is designed to motivate, energize and educate kids ages 6-14 about healthy living choices by using the power of Cartoon Network’s shows, characters and brands.
The tour will run all summer-long and feature interactive areas designed around select Cartoon Network series as well as activity areas for kids, including: the Crayola “Everything Imaginable” tent featuring three different Crayola activity stations; an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) area where kids will toss over-sized “nutrition label” dice and compare the two face-up labels for a prize, while learning to understand the nutrition facts label on food packaging more effectively; and a Subway section where kids will have the opportunity to compete on stationary bikes with a video game to beat a countdown clock.
So I have never heard of this before and looking at the website and reading this I still felt like a dodo bird. I think I’ve finally figured it out though. So for those of you that are a big slow like me this event is to inspire the whole family to get up and moving “get animated” Children can download a game tip guide and bring a game they created themselves to the tour. So not only are we animating our bodies but your children can animate their minds as well.
Here is a rough schedule for the tour. I checked Seattle and it’s already been updated so just check www.GetAnimated.com to find out when the tour will be in your area.
