DCES Play20

Play20 Fitness Day was held for DCES 4th Grade and the 4/5 Grade high ability

class on Friday November 20th. Three adjectives that come to mind when

describing that day are fun, active and healthy. Unique activities were created to

get students engaged and thinking about ways to incorporate healthy habits in

their daily routine. Students rotated through 8 stations all designed to introduce

them to heart healthy activities. These included Zumba, Yoga, dance and

fitness games, heart and blood pressure education, Heimlich Manuever training,

pedometer use, and dental/hand washing hygiene. Highlights included prizes

given for Fitness Bingo and an M&M challenge created by Purdue University

Physical Education students. The DCES students learned how much activity it

takes to burn off the calories of just one M&M! Thanks to the volunteers,

parents, and staff who helped with this fun activity for our students.
