Welcome to Project PlayFit...a new and exciting way to help children learn, grow, develop, and live healthy lives through play.

 

What is Project PlayFit? http://www.playfiteducation.com/Default.asp?cookiecheck=yes&

Project PlayFit is an on-site assembly and games program that promotes the importance of being active and living a healthy life by using developmentally appropriate games to teach social skills, thinking skills, and motor skills to elementary school children. It was created by award-winning teacher and author, Curt Hinson, Ph.D., as part of the Trouble-free Playground program. Dr. Hinson’s Trouble-free Playground program is currently being implemented at schools in all 50 states. The Project PlayFit program allows schools to improve the health and fitness levels of children by teaching them appropriate games and activities.

 

How does it work?

Project PlayFit comes to your school and conducts a 45-minute assembly program related to health, fitness, nutrition and developmentally appropriate play. Then, during your regularly scheduled recess/class time, the PlayFit instructor will teach fun and active games to the students that they can play for years to come.
