Chart & Challenge Fitness Activities
The four main goals of this programming at Project Fit America schools:
- To improve/champion overall body fitness for the general student population as well as the more athletic sports oriented students.
- To engage, empower and enthuse the student population with a sense of pride and quest toward their own personal fitness development.
- To give the Physical Education staff tools for teaching, inspiring and assessing total body fitness. Thereby discovering trends and eventually adapting programming to meet the fitness shortcomings and/or challenges of their students.
- To create and supply insightful, valid broad statistical base of student fitness information.
The key stages to Chart and Challenge programming are the entry and mid-levels (Silver and Bronze). These are the prime levels to be run and can easily be done in PE class and lead up to the national Gold & Kong Levels. We recommend Kong and Gold tryouts should be done outside normal PE time to make this a beyond PE activity. We recommend you post and promote the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Kong scores for each challenge activity on a wall that is highly visible. Students, parents and administration will like and appreciate the showcase and you will find motivation in their feedback from this positive P. R.! When starting a Chart and Challenge be sure to take into consideration the following:
Time, class size, scheduling, and if the weather may limit implementation of various challenges. If any level must be skipped, SKIP Gold and then let any student who made Silver level try for Kong or above.
Kong Level and Top Kong Kids
Your students that make KONG level can then try out for TOP KONG at your school. Certificate Download
TOP KONG is a fitness challenge wherein the student is allowed to do unlimited repetitions of the activity until they are exhausted. TOP KONG must be measured/observed by the PE teacher! The students who perform the most repetitions per activity become the TOP KONG KIDS of your school.
