Running/ Walking Laps








Laps around MPE playground

The MPE Kindergarten students are instructed when they go outside that instead of running to the playground equipment/ activities, that they walk or run 2 laps around the playground. This program was designed to address fitness along with safety.

When the recess bell rings and the children go out to the playground, instead of large groups of children trying to funnel to the playground to reach the climbing equipment/ balls, they walk/ run laps around the designated line on the playground surface.. Due to various speeds that this is completed, it makes the "rush" to get a ball or start using the equipment is smaller in number.
