N-Lighten Kids Day
N-Lighten Kids Day is an event taking place in Nebraska schools on any day during the week of April 27-May 1, 2009 in celebration of National Fitness month. Its purpose is to inform children about the benefits of physical fitness and show them it’s easy and fun to be physically active every day.
Plan a 30-minute segment of consecutive aerobic activity with 100 percent of your school participating. Think of it as a 30-minute recess during which every child in the school is jumping, running, walking or performing some other physical activity.
A coordinator from each school plans and organizes an activity, registers for the event and at the conclusion, reports back the number of students that participated.
We encourage schools to be creative when planning their activity. It can be anything: neighborhood walk, track and field day, community cleanup, obstacle course or dancing. The key idea is to teach that being physically active is fun.
Each school that achieves 100 percent participation will be entered into a drawing to win one of five monetary awards. The five winning schools will be drawn on at the end of the program.
