Did you know that according to the World Health Organization… “physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality causing an estimated 3.2 million deaths globally.”
Did you know that only 35% of Canadian youth (5 -17) are reaching their recommended physical activity levels? (2018 Participaction Report Card)
Participaction is also reporting that 82 percent of Canadian adults aren’t getting the recommended amount of physical activity they need. (2018 Participaction Report Card)
Welcome to "BURP IT ON!" We officially launched Year 5 on October 29, 2018.
In our first 4 years we have had 678 schools/organizations from 6 continents, 35 countries, 7 provinces, and 40+ states of the USA!
“BURP IT ON” is a physical activity challenge created by hardworking and dedicated students in Grade 5/6 at Deseronto Public School. Our school is located in Deseronto, Ontario, Canada. We are hoping that our "BURP IT ON" challenge will help promote an increase in healthy active living in today's youth (and ADULTS as well!).
*** MANY OF OUR PAST PARTICIPANTS HAVE ASKED US TO MAKE "BURP IT ON " A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING... YOU ASKED... WE LISTENED!
YEAR 5 of the "BURP IT ON" challenge will continue to involve making a CHOICE between three levels:
LEVEL 1 - CLASSIC
LEVEL 2 - INTERMEDIATE
LEVEL 3 - ALL-STAR
Regardless of the LEVEL you choose, you must complete the tasks within one week. Please feel free to split the activities up as you see fit. Once you have completed your challenge, you must “BURP IT ON” to other classes, schools and/or organizations. Please feel free to "BURP" as many as you like as we have an ambitious goal of AT LEAST 150 schools/organizations this year, so please keep the challenge moving!
