Heart Adventure Challenge Course

Our school's Wellness Plan incorporates a wide variety of wellness activities both for our students and our staff. The Heart Challenge Course was made available to us by our partnership with Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St.Vincent.

Heart Model

The Heart Adventure Challenge Course is a fantastic journey allowing children to move through the four chambers of the heart in a larger-than-life setting. This specially designed fitness course encompasses more than just physical activity; it is a science lesson on the move where students acquire a general understanding of the heart, as well as the importance of exercise, in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It's a great educational tool to help students learn how blood flows through the heart. And it's another example of the many cross-curricular activities we do in our class.

Fun and Fitness

Students imitate the blood traveling through the heart by using scooters, carrying red or blue balls indicating oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood, running, jumping, crawling and in the process get a great workout. Educational, increases our fitness and it's fun!!!
