One strong way to advocate for PE is to get parents and the community involved in physical activity outside of school. One idea is to create a "PE Olympics". The Olympics would consist of activities that children could do outside of class with a parent. For example walking at the park, playing basketball, swimming, bowling, bike riding, or ice skating. (This list can go on and on!) To get credit for these tasks, the students would have to take a picture with a parent/guardian doing that specific activity. Now to get the community involved the tasks like, bowling or ice skating, students would get extra points for taking a picture with the manager of that specific business. This way when the manager asks the student the parent why they want a picture it automatically starts a conversation about PE. This may spark the interest of the business to get more involved in the project. Students would get extra points for completing this extra task. These points earned for each activity completed would go to some type of reward, for example a "PE Olympic" t-shirt. The pictures taken would also go up on a wall in the school to motivate more student to participate.
