As the Week of Play comes to a close, we’re celebrating all the moments—big and small—that brought joy, movement, and connection to our schools, homes, and communities. Thank you to everyone who participated, supported and embraced the spirit of movement this week! Whether you stretched between tasks, danced in the kitchen or took mindful walks with your family—you made wellness a priority, and it showed. Let’s keep moving forward—together. Share your favorite moment from the week and tag your school so we can celebrate with you!
Want to play and move but don’t have equipment? No problem. Today’s challenge is to get creative with movement. Use what’s around you—pillows, chalk, stairs or cardboard boxes—and turn everyday items into a movement adventure. Did your living room become an obstacle course? Did the driveway turn into a hopscotch court? Show us your creative play.
Rolling is more fun together! Grab a partner—your friend, sibling, neighbor or even a pet—and celebrate Bike & Roll to School Day and the Week of Play! Moving together builds fitness, friendship and fun. What activity helps you connect while you move?
