Unexpected benefitsUnanticipated, indirect, serendipitous, or incidental positive changes in SNAP-Ed communities, with partners, or among populations that occurred in association with or as an outgrowth of SNAP-Ed interventions, above and beyond the direct outcomes of sustained implementation. Typically, these benefits are the result of increased partner participation; positive reputation or publicity; outreach by SNAP-Ed staff, champions, and organizational partners; and planned efforts to multiply, leverage, or extend the reach of SNAP-Ed resources. |
Unstructured physical activityChild-led free play for toddlers and preschoolers in which children are left to their own devices within a safe, active environment. Unstructured activity should include:
- Activities that respect and encourage children's individual abilities and interests.
- Teacher engagement with children, support for extending play, and gentle prompts and encouragement by teachers, when appropriate, to stay physically active.
