Huddle Up
Build Awareness
Take Action
Distribute the NFL PLAY 60 Challenge Toolkit and ask teachers to consider integrating the ideas into their classrooms. Challenge them to first use the ideas and tracking resources to increase their own physical activity levels and hold your own NFL PLAY 60 Teacher Challenge to get students interested.
Create a bulletin board display highlighting teachers’ goals and progress during their collegial challenge. Make announcements and highlight the successes of teachers in reaching their goals.
Use the Tools and Resources below to share ideas with teachers on how they can integrate physical activity in the classroom.
Keep It Going
Follow up with teachers to ask them to transfer their experiences to students by implementing the NFL PLAY 60 Challenge in their classrooms. Hold competitions between classrooms every fall and spring.
