Why: With so many children displaced from school , the 60 Minute Kids’ Club is making its program available to families, clubs and organizations free of charge in order to support physical and mental well-being at home.
What: The 60 Minute Kids’ Club is a unique program designed to support the development of physical literacy and health strategies. The program consists of two tools that track, record and report healthy behaviours and fundamental movement skills for kids 5-12 years old. This is what the program looks like in schools.
Who: Normally reserved for schools, in light of current circumstances they’ve broadened the parameters to include participation as a family, school, team, club or organization free of charge.
When: There will be two 30-day program roll outs:
April 1st to 30th, 2020
May 1st to 31st, 2020
*Due to the decision to make the program available at no cost, there will not be individual or club prizing available from the 60 Minute Kids’ Club organization for these two challenges.
Where: Using technology for good! This program is available to those who wish to participate online. While the format will differ from the traditional school challenge format of the past 10 years, the trackers can still help families establish and/or maintain healthy habits. Families also learn how to develop proper movement skills which are an important component in supporting the development of physical literacy.
How:
Watch the 60MKC Launch Video with your kids and understand the program.
Families will be able to register on April 1st by following the registration links and selecting ‘homeschool’.
Schools, teams, clubs and organizations who wish to participate must submit their school, team, club, organization’s name by Monday March 30 at 12 p.m. PST (3 p.m. EST) to matt@60minkidasclub.org
