NFL FLAG-In-Schools — Get in the Game!

Topics:

Physical Activity Participation,  Teamwork

Tilton Tiger first graders are learning to move through Flag Football games, such as, Snake Run, Team Touchdown, Rain Makers, and throwing. The students in our class are also Ambassadors for the program and invite other first grade classes to play along. We play every Friday and it is great for our mind, body and spirit!

How did you accomplish your goals?

We learn new games each week and then share with other classes. Our mission is to spread the word that movement is important each day.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Challenges are to help students learn multiple step activities to move through the games. We modified the steps and added on as they mastered them.
