We’re All Winners

This lecture was developed to help explain We’re All Winners, an educational activity, a day created to build self esteem, promote healthy eating and encourage children to be physically active.

We’re All Winners

“We’re All Winners” is an educational fitness activity designed to let young children have fun, learn a bit about being safe in the sun and then participate in a non-racing, solo running activity.

The main goal of the event is to create an environment in which each child gets to feel special, like a winner and goes home feeling and believing for at least one day that “I’m a Winner!” This is the message that we want them to internalize and to believe.

This educational activity an idea that I developed while my young daughters were in pre-school. We staged for five years in the pre-school or kindergarten setting and last year also put on a modified version for my older daughter’s first grade setting.
