ANY MORE IDEAS??
I am applying for a Grant for my school and My grant Idea is F5 week “The Winds of Healthy Change”
I am challenging the student body to eat better and exercise to just GET MOVING. My school has 36% obese kids, 12% MORBIDLY obese kids, 18% at risk and only 34% Healthy kids!!!! How scarry is that! We are just a everyday run of the mill ELEMENTARY School. I am so SO worried about my students health. I would appreciate any GOOD IDEAS to help make this FUN and EXCITING for them to do!!
THANKS!!!!!
we have a field day this is a whole week dedicated to fitness. I need ideas for them to do at home. I am having them log the minutes on a sheet and parents sign off on it.

we used to have Field Day. there would be several activities planned. each group would have a certain amount of time to do the activity before they went on to the next. you could have jump ropes, relay races, long jump, whatever you want. throw a frisbee through a hula hoop. who can hula hoop the longest? the team or class with the most points wins a party or gets to watch a movie. kids all over are getting fatter because they sit inside playing video games or watching tv instead of going out and playing. good luck!
