kids fitness programs
Ideas for an Elementary School running program?
My son’s elementary school has a running program where the kids run laps during recess and have a laminated card punched after each lap. The goal was overall fitness, and 1/5th of the school ran 26.2 miles over the year. 11 ran over 100 miles (two of those over 200 miles).
We want to improve the overall program – so I appreciate ideas.
We also want to get some free swag for the kids from running or other companies — specifically t-shirts for all and shoes for less advantaged kids. Any ideas here are appreciated as well.
Right now the program recognizes kids with medals for each 26.2 (different one) and a trophy for 100 miles. There is also a paper thermometer on the wall with milage increments and the kids names on paper feet at the appropriate level.
Why not have a fund raiser where the kids can go around and ask neighbors/friends to sponser them say 10 cents a lap. At the end of the fundrasier (have it go for a month?) the money raised will go towards shoes, shirts, running gear, ect for all involved and awards can go to the kids who ran the most, the kids who raised the most, etc. That way you’re also getting the community involved! Then other fun things- have a teacher(s) that will do something crazy if they reach a certain goal- shave their head, wear a crazy outfit to school, etc. Kids eat that up! Hope that helps!
