These 4 weeks bring the WinterKids mission of helping children develop healthy lifelong habits through education and fun, outdoor winter activity to life for over 10,000 students and teachers. Thank you for being a part of this fantastic program!

This year’s theme is WEATHER and everyone will become little scientists, going outside and collecting weather data every school day. Each week will have a different weather topic of focus for our learning and adventures outside as we work our way through TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, WIND, and CLOUDS, all guided along by this PLAYBook.

As the WEATHER changes, and as our winters change, WinterKids is here with you to adapt and help answer questions along the journey. Best of luck in this year’s competition, and most of all – keep having fun!

WINTERKIDS MISSION:

“WinterKids helps children develop healthy lifelong habits through education and fun, outdoor winter activity.”

LEARN & SHARE IDEAS

Make sure you’ve joined the WinterKids Winter Games Facebook group. There, you will find inspiration from other teachers and families through photos, videos, and information.

DRESSING FOR WINTER SAFETY

We all need to think “safety” when it comes to dressing for winter activities – to keep us warm and dry and stay visible when it gets dark since there are fewer hours of daylight.
