This winter, my school held and participated in “Fitness Day.” Second, third, fourth and fifth graders got to participate in different physical activities. There were 18 different stations set up on the school soccer field. Some of the different activities used scooters, balancing pads, ball and scoops, hula-hoops, jump ropes, a parachute, pool noodles, hurdles, a rubber pig toss, a ball toss, and a ladder run. Other activities just used your body for planking, push-up high fives, stretching, curl-up high fives, mountain climbers and high jumps.
My Student Team members and I were each leaders of a separate station and had a group of 5 students. The students only got so much time to complete the physical activity before moving on to their next station. During the fitness day, the mayor came out along with some of the board members from our school district. I had the honor of introducing the mayor, who spoke about the importance of physical activity. Once he was done speaking, the kids got back to doing the activities. The mayor then went around to most of the stations to see what the kids were doing and participated with them. All the students had smiles on their faces and were definitely enjoying themselves.
Everyone was having fun while doing something good for our bodies. We ended all the activities with a cool down and a little stretching. Then the students were taken back to their classrooms by the student leaders. The fitness day was obviously a hit and helped motivate the students to be active every day for 60 minutes or more. Our school is hoping to hold next year’s Fitness Day again!

Running is a lot harder than those, but that’s a good influence on kids who need physical activity! Running is the best way to stay active. I run 5 miles per day and do track. My best mile is 5:03! Good job, you guys did well!:)
I have dance and play footballs with my dad.
Cool
That is a great idea!
Nice,looks cool.
