Abstract
Comprehensive school physical activity programs (CSPAPs) aim to increase students' physical activity opportunities across the entire school day. Targeted areas include physical education, classes throughout the curriculum, before and after school settings, and time spent both with families and in the community. Home fun (formally known as homework) is an underutilized strategy that can address multiple CSPAP components while providing students opportunities to develop their physical literacy. This article provides a definition of “home fun,” applications to address interdisciplinary goals, and includes guiding principles for creating effective home fun tasks.
