The program staff works with physical education teachers to stress compliance with game rules and the meaning of fair play in a variety of age-appropriate activities based on student interest. Students create a game in which someone who is blind could compete with sighted people.
Students teach each other how to play the game.
The program staff helps students create, record, and present individual wellness plans that cover nutrition, fitness, and stress management. As part of the presentation to community partners and classroom peers, students describe the impact the plan has had on the quality of their lives. The school staff, program staff, and parents participate in a training to learn how to encourage girls to get involved in sports and physical activities at an early age. The training stresses that such involvement reduces the likelihood of developing health-related conditions, including obesity, and that it can enhance a girl's sense of competence and control. Parents participate in recreational activities designed for adult enrichment, such as clogging, softball, square dancing, ballroom dancing, and basketball.
