"Fun to Move Everywhere” Interschool Challenge is an engaging learning tool, specially designed to enhance fundamental movement skills (FMS) and health-related fitness. Incorporating the concept of interval training, “Fun to Move Everywhere” has 28 skills in total, the number of skills to complete varies by the grade level of students. Apart from Individual Challenge" and "School Team Challenge", the 2nd Interschool Challenge adds two more categories: "Teacher Challenge" and "Parent-Child Challenge" where teachers, parents, and students are welcome to take part in different competition categories.

The second "Fun to Move Everywhere Challenge” was held between November 2022 and January 2023. We received an enthusiastic response in "School Team Challenge", with more than 230 classes and 6000 students from 15 schools entered the competition. “Fun to Move Everywhere” Interschool Challenge Gold Awards were given to seven schools where they adopted a whole-school approach to energize and motivate all their students to challenge themselves. They were: Shak Chung Shan Memorial Catholic Primary School, TWGHs Ma Kam Chan Memorial Primary School, TWGHs Sin Chu Wan Primary School, PLK Tin Ka Ping Millennium Primary School, PLK Lam Man Chan English Primary School, TWGHs Lo Yu Chik Primary School and PLK Horizon East Primary School. We were also delighted to receive seven school entries for "Teacher Challenge", in which the competition helped bond the teaching staff and incorporate a positive model of healthy behavior in schools. The results of competition will be announced in “Fun to Move @JC Newsletter” February issue. Congratulations to all school winners!

The Fun to Move@JC Interschool Family Fun Day (Online) held on 14 January 2023 was open to families from non-project schools for the first time. On the event day, the participants were guided by the coaches to try out different types of newly emerged sports and learn the related object control skills such as passing and catching (Frisbee), striking (Pickleball and spikeball) etc. Parents were happy interacting with their children through the mini-games and fun challenges. They were also encouraged to participate in “I Can Do IT!” by taking short videos to showcase their child’s performance in selected fundamental movement skills. Everyone was looking forward to the lucky draw at the end of the Fun Day, in which 10 winners each received one foam frisbee designed by Fun to Move@JC. All participants enjoyed an active morning filled with joy and laughter!

To further promote teachers’ physical health and well-being, the “Professional Teacher Development Fun Day” has become a recurring event held in-person at Project schools. Since the school year began in September 2022, the Project team had conducted the fun days at four schools, including S.K.H. Wei Lun Primary School, Meng Tak Catholic School, St. Patrick's School and PLK Luk Hing Too Primary School. We recorded total attendances of over 160 teachers at these events.

Each “Professional Teacher Development Fun Day” was divided into four parts: a talk on Physical Literacy, evaluations of Health & Fitness, “Fun to Move Everywhere Challenge”, and team games, to offer opportunities for teachers to engage intellectually, socially, and physically. Specifically, during the event the essentials of physical literacy were introduced, and different objective assessment tools and methods, including Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and the Project’s automated FMS Rater were used to allow teachers for a complete understanding of their health levels and physical abilities. Besides, the teachers were actively engaged in the team-building activities such as the “Fun to Move Everywhere Challenge” and frisbee games. Participating teachers found the event to be well-designed and packed with relevant and meaningful content. They also felt they were able to spend a relaxing but invigorating afternoon with their colleagues after work.

Fun to Move@JC “10-Million Steps Challenge” was successfully held on 25 Nov 2022. Some new schools are joining this year, a total of 25 schools participated in the event. As of 12 Dec, 12,500 teaching staff and students combined to accumulate approximately 2.47 million steps for this iteration of the event! On the event day, students from 10 schools joined from the school hall or their own classrooms by following our live broadcast on Zoom or YouTube. The other 15 schools completed the virtual at their own schedule during the event period.

The cumulative number of steps has reached 9.29 million steps! Only one step away from the 10-million-steps challenge. Thank you for your active participation! This is extremely encouraging. We hope that even more students and teachers will join this exciting journey in the future.

Fun to Move@JC held Interschool Family Fun Day on 12 November. More than 100 families in total joined the events filled with fun and excitement. New emerged sports such as Frisbee, Pickleball and Taspony were introduced to give students and parents a fresh experience and enhance their understanding on the sport trend of different countries.

For the “Level-Up! Challenges”, participants were guided by the coaches to take on a new challenge one after another by completing a set of exercises including cardiovascular and muscular endurance, balance, flexibility, muscular strength, and locomotor skills. Students and their parents were also encouraged to wear the Sport Band to record their activity level during the online event. The top 10 families with the highest step counts were awarded the certificates of “The Most Energetic Healthy Family”. We look forward to seeing you in the coming event!
