PE and Classroom Ideas

1. Create an “Exercise is good for me because _________” bulletin board. Have the students add something to it every other week.

2. Create a chart for the entire class to log their walking distances.

3. Set two or three-week goals for the entire class and have students encourage each other to meet those goals together.

4. Create a competition between your class and another class.

5. Choose a “Go!Kid Of The Week” and have that student lead the walking for that week.

6. Once or twice a month invite parents to come to the school and walk with the students.

7. Include a nutritional fact in your newsletter to the parents of your students.

8. Let your students create their own class Go!Kids mascot.

9. Set “Milestone Markers” and celebrate when the entire class reaches one of those markers.

10. Use the different holidays, which occur throughout the Diamond Shamrock Go!Kids Challenge, to create a Milestone Marker or a theme.

EX. The Monster Mash Move or the Jack-O-Lantern Jive during October; the Turkey Trot in November, etc.
