Run Across Canada

Game Description: 
Great game to show kids how far Manitoba is!
Objective: 
Keep track of daily running to see how long it takes your group to run across Manitoba.
Game Rules: 
Explain to kids that this activity is that they are going to work together to see how long it will take them to run across Manitoba. When doing a warm up like running around the gym keep track of the total distance (i.e. 800m run by 20 children = 16 km). Add to the map how much children run each day to see how long it will take them. This is a great activity to tie in land marks and social studies.
Progression (optional): 
How long would it take to run across Canada?
