We performed a investigation of number of steps of 34 children of K day care in Nagano City. The average number of steps of the children was 7,500 steps per day. On days when activities were outside the day care the children averaged 9,700 steps per day and on days when activities were in the day care play ground the children averaged 8,300 steps per day. On days of events the children's amount of exercise tended to decrease to an average of 4,900 steps per day. The greater amount of time in group activities was show to reduce the amount of exercise.　The results of a questionnaire completed by day care staff revealed that only 30% of the children had an appetite. In the 5 year old and 6 year old class none of the children left food on their plates. In the 4 year old class 30% of the children left food on their plates. In interviews with day care staff it was learned that food was reduced for children with low appetite.　In order to increase the children's appetite it was thought that there is a need to increase the amount of exercise in play activities. We suggest the day care consider activity content and length in order to plan activities in which children develop a feeling of hunger.
