This year, you are among over 10,000 kids and teachers participating in the Winter Games! Wow! You will complete 4 weeks of winter challenges focusing on “The Little Things” with your friends and families with these weekly themes: Outdoor Physical Activity, Nutrition, Family Engagement, and Winter Carnival.

Our “Little Things” theme encourages you to think about how small gestures can have very big impacts in our lives – using your imagination, problem solving skills, and resilience. This fun-filled PLAYBook will help to keep your mind AND body active this winter, and beyond. WinterKids is with you every step of the way to offer support, answer questions, and be your biggest cheerleader.

We are so excited to help you stay healthy at school and at home this winter! Good luck, stay safe, and remember, “it’s the little things!”

Yours in health and competitive spirit,
Julie Mulkern, Executive Director, WinterKids

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.
