When I started mapping out the things I wanted to include in our daughter's kindergarten year of homeschool, I realized that 2012 is Leap Year. Wouldn't it be fun to plan a "Leap Day"--a field day on February 29, just when kids are going stir crazy and their parents are wondering what to count for PE when the snow starts turning into mud?
Leap Day 2012 is an indoor field day at the Severna Park Community Center gym on February 29, 2012 from 9-2. Come by for a few hours and get active with your kids. We aim to have a supervised mini-trampoline, ride, and bounce house just for the littlest ones, along with a slew of other activities for older students:
- jump rope with rhymes
- hopscotch
- leap frog
- sack races
- bean bag toss
- hula hoops for all ages
- and much more: even cross-curricular activities!
Here's my favorite: freebies & door prizes. Families may take home a bag full of homeschool- and fitness-related information and freebies. Door prizes will include themed items like new jump ropes, donated gently used LeapFrog LeapPad (R) items and a brand new Wii Fit (R) accessory. Your students who participate can receive incentives like stickers, temporary tattoos, and sports-themed items.
