The 100 Mile Club presents elementary school students with a straightforward challenge: run, jog, or walk 100 miles over the course of the school year. It’s a big mark to hit but students of all abilities jump at the chance to score miles during designated running times before or after school, during recess, and at sanctioned community events, such as local road races and family nights.
BOKS is a morning physical activity program that has kids begin their day with a dose of fun – 45 minutes of running, playing, and exercise, all before the first school bell rings. Featuring a wide variety of dynamic games and activities, the BOKS curriculum is popular with elementary age kids of all ability levels. Ask a BOKS kid their favorite game and you might hear “Fishy Fish”, “Crab Soccer”, or “Toilet Tag”. Quality movement that is kid-approved.
CHALK/Just Move is a classroom-based movement program designed to get kids up and active right at their desks. A set of activity cards is used to lead the class in aerobic, yoga, stretching, and meditation exercises. Variations to the movements and poses make the program appropriate for children of all ages. Exercises are also academically integrated and tied to the common core state standards, allowing teachers to weave in math, science, and English language arts material to complement the day’s lesson plan.
