habits and fundamental
movement skills in an
interactive and
incentivized experience.
• To start, sign up or login.

4. MAKE YOUR DAILY VISIT EASIER
• You’ll be taking part in three
modules with daily habit
forming recommended
activities so you’ll want to
visit the site almost daily.
• To make it easier, bookmark
the Activity Challenge page.
• Or save the site like an app on
your phone by clicking your
browser options and saving it
to your home screen.

5. EASIER FROM MOBILE
• Or save the site like an
app on your phone by
clicking your browser
options and saving it to
your home screen.

• After signing up, confirm

the link in your email.

immediately given your
first rewards: a Pin and
Coins! You’re off to a
great start.

7. CREATE CLASS TEAM
• Close and create your
Class Team.
• Enter the class name and
click “create”.

8. YOUR SCHOOL
• The Teacher Dashboard will
open - your home base for
the Activity Challenge.
• The first time you visit,
you’ll land on the School tab
where all of your schools’
classes and teachers are
listed.
• This is where you can create
another class teams (if you
teach multiple classes), or
add an additional teacher.

9. ADD SUPPORT TEACHERS
• If necessary, you can add
another teacher to your
class, (for example, a
physical education teacher
or substitute) to support
delivery of the Activity
Challenge and continue
your students’ progress
through the Team sessions
and activities.

10. INVITE PARENTS
• Invite parents to unlock their
child’s profile.
• In order for the Activity
Challenge to be done at home
and at school, a student’s
registration must be completed
by their parent or guardian.
• Need parents permission
before adding them? We have a
printable permission PDF to
download and share. Then start
adding students by clicking
“Invite Students”.

11. ADD STUDENTS TO THE CLASS
• Invite students the same
way you invite an
additional teacher: via
direct email to parents.
• We’ve made this easier for
you by adding the “bulk
student invite” function.

12. BULK STUDENT INVITE
• If you have parent emails for
your class on a CSV or Excel
spreadsheet, import them all
at once by putting “first
names” in the first column,
“last names” in the second
and emails” in the third.
• “Copy” all and “paste” into
the bulk import tab.

13. AUTOMATIC EMAIL TO PARENTS
• Parents will receive an
automatic email with
information on the benefits of
the Activity Challenge,
privacy, and ways they can
support their children at
home.

14. REGISTERED STUDENTS
• Once parents complete the
registration, “Invited Students” will
move above to your “Active Students”
list.
• Here, you’ll be able to track their XP
(experience points), Team, Training and
Bonus points, and email their parents or
guardians directly.
• To remind a parent of a registration
email, delete and re-add the student a
second time, and the automatic email
will be re-sent.
• When all of your Invited Students have
been moved above to your Active
Students list, your class team is ready to
begin their first module!

15. THE MODULE CALENDAR
• This is the Module Calendar for all of the
activities you’ll be leading throughout
Module 1.
• There are 20 sessions to complete, so it’s
flexible for your teaching schedule.
• The program starts on Feb 13 (Day 1), but
if you start a week later on Day 7 you can
still complete the previous activities to
acquire all of the points needed for you
and your students to gain module prizes.
• When a session is completed, the session
block will turn green.
• Incomplete modules will make you and
your students ineligible for some prizes.

16. THE ACTIVITIES
• When on the Module Calendar, click
on the magnifying glass to preview
the activity.
• Clicking “start” on the activity will
take you to the setup page.
• With either click, you’ll find a demo
video, setup instructions and the
fundamental movement (FM) skills
and relative sports that the activity
practices.
• You can also find information on set
up, accessibility options and adaptive
suggestions.

17. YOUR HOME PAGE
• After your first visit, you’ll
start on Today’s
Recommended Sessions
page each time you return
to the site.
• From here, you can “preview
the activity” and/or start
that day’s session, which is
comprised of more than one
activity per day.
