WinterKids Winter Games

Animated Girl With Medal

WinterKids is kid-centered and teacher approved! 

This year, we are adapting the fourth annual Winter Games to hybrid and remote learning models in schools. Classrooms across Maine can opt into the Games for the 4-week challenge, and we will provide incentives, prizes, and fun, easy to use PLAYbooks for families at home.

Each classroom and their families will participate in a four-week outdoor physical activity and nutrition challenge with a circles theme focused on resilience, community, and inclusion from January 11 – February 5, 2021.

Sign your class up below, and join the fun!

Registration is open through December 15, 2021.

The community has been super excited, the whole school, there's been a different atmosphere and we're just really happy to be chosen to be part of this, this year.

I am SO thankful for the impact this Winter Kids competition has on our kids. In this short time, the changes in attitudes, physical activity, even the helpfulness of students was very heart-warming.

Because of this competition, my family is now rethinking our snack choices and making healthier ones, our kids and community have formed a wonderful bond coming together for one goal, and you managed to get a Mom, who hates winter and the cold, outside embracing the beauty of Maine having fun with her kids.

How do you combine a community, school, home, nutrition, exercise, team, kids, parents, teachers, school spirit, awareness, and fun? Participate in WinterKids Winter Games!! Seriously had no idea how amazing this would be and what our community was capable of! The support and Camaraderie is incredible. What a positive experience this has been for our kids and all the parents too!

Let's just say several parents told me their students were sleeping better at night and at school we've had much less behavior issues this week! Two very big positives for WinterKids Winter Games challenge week #2!!
