Get your school moving this National Fitness Day
20 September 2018
How is your school taking part in National Fitness Day 2018?
To celebrate National Fitness Day on Wednesday 26 September, schools are being encouraged to move for 10 minutes at 10am. What better way to get involved than to run a Train Like A Jedi whole-school assembly?
Play the Train Like A Jedi video and get pupils to follow along with double Olympic gold taekwondo champion Jade Jones, who will show them how to perform the basic Jedi moves.
There are also lots more Star Wars™ inspired activities to choose from, including PE lesson plans, lesson fillers, fun playground games and a school council toolkit.
More ideas to celebrate National Fitness Day
If you’re looking for more ideas to get pupils moving for 10 minutes at 10am this National Fitness Day, then why not try our Train Like A Jedi taster activities? They are a great way to get kids up and moving between lessons. Or have a go at our 10 Minute Shake Up activities inspired by Disney·Pixar's Cars 3 and Disney's Moana and Frozen Fever.
"There is nothing else that we use which is quite like this whole-school assembly presentation. Firstly, it’s different, as it has the Star Wars theme which the children will really like! I also like the way that the whole school is working on the same project - we haven’t had a PE related whole-school project before."
