Hello Parents and Teachers,
We are pleased to announce that our school will be participating in the 60 Minute Kids Club challenge this school year. Beginning on October 1st, students will
have the opportunity to track their physical activity for 60 days. The 60 Minute Kids club is a platform designed to increase physical activity & healthy lifestyle
engagement levels of youth in the age ranges of 5-12 years old. It functions by combining a challenge, accountability, incentive & follow up to anyone engaging in
physical activity programs (new programs – or existing programs)
What makes the 60MKC program different?
1. No cost, minimal workload, we provide tracking & reporting systems for daily physical activity (DPA)
2. Designed to be an initiative that STARTS a home and is reinforced through the schools.
3. Defined start & end dates
4. A holistic approach to total health through physical, mental, social, intellectual literacy elements
5. Multiple incentives for kids to participate. (Short & long term)
6. Accountability through a safe on line tracking tool
7. Consistent follow up with teachers, students & parents
How does 60MKC work? High Touch/ High Tech
The 60 Minute Kids’ club is a blend of high tech & high touch practices that have proven successful in past initiatives.
Touch: a kids’ assembly to bring awareness/responsibility to what healthy habits are & how they can incorporate them into daily life this is wrapped in a
fun/educational format. Website has a 60MKC pledge form they can print and put on the fridge to remind them of the healthy requirements to follow. Along with
tracking their physical activity, student will also be tracking other healthy habits. Consistent follow up by 60 Minute Kids’ Club Representative!
Tech: Our web-platform (www.60minkidsclub.com) allows for students to signup and track the following healthy habits. For tracking healthy habits, students are
rewarded with points for themselves and their school collectively!
1. Breakfast everyday
2. 60 minutes of activity
3. Drink 8 glasses water
4. Eat 5 balanced meals (fruits and vegetables)
5. Sleep 8-10 hours everyday
6. “I AM” positive thoughts
7. Under 2 hours of screen time
8. Reading 30 minutes everyday
Each day they can log in and fill out these trackers *this will be an interactive process that parents/ teachers can help facilitate (e.g. every night before bed we
log in as a family and click our icons or during computer class the students quickly log their activity)
At the end of each 60 day challenge, 60MKC will know;
· who were the most active students in each school
· who was the most active school in the province and Canada
Incentives
Every 60MKC challenge the 60 Minute Kids’ Club will reward the top 10 most active students in each school.
At the end of the year, the total points from all 3 challenges will be totalled to see what school is the most active in Ontario.

4. Take the Pledge!
The ultimate goal of the 60MKC is to become the gateway to physical literacy whereby families have access to every progression of every primary sport movement
pattern in an easy to use interface & no charge. Concurrently, the 60MKC would like to supplement, enhance, or become (best cases) the gateway to physical
activity for 5-10 year old children across Canada. We will accomplish this by providing a unique experience that engaged youth by providing incentive to
participate, accountability to results and follow up to measureable outcomes.
Your passion for living healthy and active will inspire the school community and instill a healthier environment.
It will not be easy and you will come across adversity. However, we will provide you with all the tool and information needed to overcome all challenges.
In the end of the year, we guarantee that your school will experience victory and a sense of accomplishment. Most importantly, we guarantee that your school will
be a more health conscious environment.
We are pleased to welcome you to the 60 Minute Kids Club. Let’s get kids fit for the future!
