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 to participate 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 new 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.
Winning entries from the Educational Challenge will be awarded with prizes to celebrate classroom success and encourage physical activity. Available prizes include Everyone Jump Celebration Concerts and Ophea’s DPA Kits.
