Two Autumn Running Days so Far for this Young Girl

Run the Seasons with KidsRunning.Com and earn a KidsRunning.Com green ribbon. Here's all you have to do. Print our Run the Seasons charts. Glue them into a file folder and go out for a run. Each time you go running, fill in a square on your chart. Distance does not matter with this program. Just go out for a run and record it on your chart.

Fill in the squares anyway you wish. You may want to color them in, check them off, number them, or use stickers.

My class will be drawing a picture of something that represents the season after they run. In fact for the first 10 days, they are going to 'gather' something on their run and draw it on their Run the Seasons chart. We will save our collections of tens in plastic bags and use them for counting by tens. Here's a helpful link for identifying leaves.

Please be creative with this program. There will be infinite curriculum tie-ins.

We will be adding more and more ideas as the days go by.

Check back for more pages to go with our fall running journal.

Doing the Log-a-Mile program already? Do this one too! You can do both and get credit for your runs.

These pages print beautifully on my iMac. They are sized perfectly for my computer. If you cannot get a good copy, please send a SASE with 2 stamps and I will send you a set of masters. Mail to:
