**READY...**

**SET...**

**GO!**

**I run**

**I swim**

**I cycle**

**I skate**

**I fly kites**

**When we play, we use**

**Force:** A push or pull that helps us go fast, slow, stop and even change shape.

**Friction:** When one surface tries to move across another and slows things down.

**Energy:** Our ability to do work and move.
