Physical Activity Participation

At recess, all classes can walk or jog around the playground and for each lap they take they can mark a chart on how many laps they do. Every three times around the playground it is a mile. After each marking period, we count who has the most miles from each class and they get to pick something out of the activity basket to take home and use. We also give a little chain with a runner on it , which can be put this on a book bag. There are many students who do this one mile club everyday.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

I see some of the teachers taking the walk with our students

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We have to keep talking about it during class and on our morning annoucements.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

I think we have more students and teachers making physical activity important every day.
