Discovery Girls magazine and Fundex Games have joined forces, kicking off a nationwide effort to encourage kids to get active.
On National Jump Out! Day, kids (and adults!) are asked to grab a jump rope and hop to it!
March 20th – the first day of spring – is the day for all to jump-start their way into a more active lifestyle by gathering friends and family and seeing how many times in a row each person can jump without stopping. Any kind of jump will do, from a simple hop to a Double Dutch or Criss-Cross step. Or, they can jump into another activity that pumps up the heart, like biking, skating, or playing tag – the idea is to get off the couch and on the road to good health.
Participants will be encouraged to document their participation in National Jump Out! Day through May 15 by submitting their recorded number of jumps.
Submit your results.
Participants will jump for joy if they are lucky enough to win one of the many prizes, including jump ropes, Fab Girls Guides books, iPods, or, best of all, being featured in Discovery Girls magazine! Visit Discovery Girls for all the contest details.
