Have you heard of the Fuel Up to Play 60 program for schools??!! As a former Teacher, and Health Education major myself, I am always interested in programs that encourage healthy lives. THIS incorporates it all! Special thanks goes out to Real California Milk for sponsoring this post.

Fuel Up to Play 60 Activities
Fuel Up to Play 60 empowers students to create and teach other students about different healthy activities. They earn rewards for the healthy choices they’re making!
Students can participate in challenges, track their healthy eating, and complete “plays” from their playbook which earn fun online rewards when completed.
- Of course you are encouraged to create your own unique activities in your school. However this program provides ideas you can pull from as well such as a 100 mile club!
- We already have a running club at our school so that would already be one for our books.
Who Founded Play 60
National Dairy Council and the NFL created this. I’ve already signed up. If you’re a parent you should consider becoming a program advisor for your child’s school as well. Or gather the group of Moms you talk to every day and decide to do it together!
The more the merrier I think. The deadline to sign up for the grant for your child’s school is June 16th. Now, with a program like Fuel Up to Play 60 it will only enhance what we already have in our school.
Whether you’d like to add a healthier eating program, or improve the one you already have this program is a great. Free resource for everyone involved.
- What are you waiting for?? It’s a free school fundraiser program that your children and other students will love. 😉
This is a great idea! I think adding some healthy activities helps all children focus and allows them the opportunity to be loose during a long school day. I love it!
Really love seeing this. Having these kids of programs help parents and teachers guide children to healthy lifestyles. Thank you for great information!
I hadn’t heard of this particular program, but I think it’s a great idea. I love that you’re helping by spreading the word too. =0)
What a great program! I love that it tries to get everyone involved!
Sharing this with my friends and family with kids–love it!
Sounds like a fabulous program!
Love the Play 60 program! Such a great way to get kids outside and moving!
