Gobble, gobble friends!
Today I share a clear, low-stress plan for running a school-wide turkey trot with fairness, safety, and fun at the center. Let's have fun!
• six-day rotation compressed into a one-day event
• track layout and grade-level scheduling
• dynamic warm-up and pacing reminders
• splitting runners to reduce congestion
• index cards and stamps for accurate lap counts
• midpoint cutoff to ensure a fair finish
• medals as recognition without pressure
• roles for PTO, specialists, and parent volunteers
• popsicle station and supervised free time
• framing the day as movement celebration
Please be patient on the podcast, on the writing, and I will get caught back up hopefully soon!
Take care,
Dave
