Kids Can Do the 2!

Now, kids can Do the 2 at www.2Step4Kids.com!

With Monday’s launch of www.2Step4Kids.com, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana has expanded the health and fitness message of its acclaimed Louisiana 2 Step program to include elementary and middle school children.

The site is a kid-oriented version of www.Louisiana2Step.com, Blue Cross’ innovative healthy eating and exercise website that has encouraged thousands across the state to “Do the 2” by making small but significant daily lifestyle changes.

Louisiana’s children are among the heaviest in the nation,” said John Maginnis, vice president of Corporate Communications at Blue Cross. “This launch will address that unfortunate statistic and is our way of responding to parents and teachers who’ve asked for a way to involve kids in the 2 Step.”

Aimed at five- to 12-year-olds, www.2Step4Kids.com teaches the simple “Eat Right, Move More” message in a fun way. Kids can play interactive games with nutrition and exercise themes, earn reward points, build their own “Me 2” characters and keep track of their exercise and eating habits with simple food and activity logs. The site also includes resources and an idea exchange for teachers and parents.
