LINTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS SPONSORING A “ PLAY 30 “ PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE THEIR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO START EXERCISING TOGETHER AT HOME. THIS IS A MOVEMENT TRYING TO CREATE AN ACTIVE & HEALTHY GENERATION, ENCOURAGING OUR STUDENTS TO PLAY FOR 30 MINUTES, 3 DAYS PER WEEK IN ORDER TO TACKLE CHILDHOOD OBESITY.
STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO AN ACTIVITY FOR 30 MINUTES, 12 TIMES PER MONTH. EACH STUDENT WILL RECEIVE A PLAY 30 EXERCISE LOG WHERE THEY CAN KEEP TRACK OF ALL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR THE MONTH. AT THE END OF THE MONTH, STUDENTS WILL BRING THEIR EXERCISE LOGS BACK TO SCHOOL AND TURN THEM INTO COACH BERNS.
AN INCENTIVE DRAWING WILL TAKE PLACE FOR ALL THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE MET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF 360 MINUTES OF EXERCISE, AND THEIR PRIZE WILL BE T-SHIRTS.
ACTIVITIES ARE NUMEROUS AND CAN INCLUDE ANYTHING THAT GETS THE BODY MOVING. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: WALKING, JOGGING, BIKING, BASKETBALL, SWIMMING, YOGA, GYMNASTICS, RAKING LEAVES, SHOVELING SNOW, TRAMPOLINE, SOCCER, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, SOFTBALL, DANCE, TENNIS, OR ANYTHING THAT GETS YOUR HEART RATE UP.
