It is up to each school to ensure you are following local public health and school board rules and policies for your event activities.
Outdoor stations
If school yard is large enough, set up different physically distanced stations and have classes take turns rotating to each station throughout the duration of your event day. Stations can include: skipping, an obstacle course, hula hoop activities.
In classrooms
Have each class participate on event day in their own classroom. Play Simon Says, musical chairs or skipping games!
In gym class
Host Jump throughout a week and have classes participate during their scheduled gym class! Set up different physically distanced skipping stations using Jump Rope for Heart Skipping skills posters and have students complete each activity as part of their Jump Event.
