Kickoff

What is a Kickoff?

Planning a school-wide event to introduce Fuel Up to Play 60 can be a really fun way to get students and others in your community excited and motivated. And getting people excited about change is a really good way to get them to make change.

An event like this will help you get people interested in the program, give them information about how important healthy eating and physical activity are for everyone, and create a school-wide sense of the really positive effects that are possible with Fuel Up to Play 60. Visit the Training Camp for a video overview of things you can do during this Step!

After Kickoff, you can use the other ideas in the interactive Playbook to keep interest high throughout the year. There are three categories of Kickoff and Promotion Plays.
