Your idea
Are you a
Teacher
How does your innovation currently get kids (or how might it get kids) engaged in physical activity? How would your idea or project potentially be implemented during the school day?
This idea can be implemented in a Middle School PE class lasting 30-40 minutes. Due to the variety of activities, it offers kids a chance to learn different ways to be physically fit and improve muscular strength and endurance, without only doing just running or traditional fitness activities. Hopefully kids that are and aren't athletic can enjoy doing a variety of activities while having fun and getting to know new friends. Once they have completed a task, students write their partner's name in the box. This is to encourage students to get to know other kids they may not be as close to while working out at the same time.
Name Your Project
Fitness Bingo
How many children does this program currently or plan to serve? How much time does each child spend daily/weekly engaged in physical activity? (150 words max)
This activity is done during a regular PE class and can include anywhere from 10 children to 50 children or more. It could also be developed into a fitness activity to be completed at home outside of class and could involve parents and siblings.
