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?
Every “body” is different—and that’s something to celebrate. Whether you’re stretching in your seat, rolling through the park or tapping your toes to a favorite song, today’s focus is to move in a way that feels right for you. Snap a photo of how YOU moved today and tell us what made it enjoyable.
The LCPS Week of Play starts today. Join us in celebrating physical activity, wellness and community through simple, daily movement—no matter your age, ability, or fitness level. www.lcps.org/familywellness
The LCPS Week of Play kicks off Monday—let’s get moving! Get ready for a week filled with school-based activities, daily wellness challenges and community engagement that puts health and movement at the center of learning and life.
Looking for a fun way to warm up for the week? Join us at Run the Greenway on Saturday, May 4! Whether you’re running, walking or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a great opportunity for schools and communities to come together and get energized for the Week of Play. Let’s build the momentum and celebrate movement—all week long!
Movement is for everyone. Whether it’s a walk, stretch or dance break, LCPS encourages all staff and families to take time each day to move in a way that feels right for them. www.lcps.org/familywellness
Just 11 days until the LCPS Week of Play begins. Join us as we celebrate wellness and encourage physical activity for all ages and fitness levels, May 5–9. www.lcps.org/familywellness
