At the beginning of the program, an evaluation will be conducted to determine where your child rates physically. The activities have been planned so that any child can participate regardless of skill level or coordination. If your child is unable to participate at school on the day of the evaluation, you will be provided with instructions for performing the evaluation at home.
Each school will have a map showing the world. The students will be encouraged to walk enough miles, as a class, to reach Beijing, China, from Utah.
A booklet or tracking passport will be provided so your child can record how many minutes of activity he or she performs daily. This will need to be initialed weekly by you as the parent or guardian.
- Your child will receive a small reward for participation.
- Grand prizes will be awarded to the top three competing schools.
