Everyone Jump

Everyone Jump is a free school-based diabetes awareness program that teaches students in Grades 1-6 about the importance of regular physical activity and healthy eating to prevent type 2 diabetes. The program includes a teacher resource, music CD and an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they have learned by participating in an educational challenge.

Everyone Jump resource includes updated cross-curricular lesson plans which are directly linked to the Grade 1-6 provincial curriculum, including the 2010 Ontario Elementary Health and Physical Education curriculum; a music CD to accompany the lesson plans and help students remember diabetes prevention messages through fun songs and lyrics; and an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned about diabetes through an Educational Challenge.
