The Hy-Vee KidsFit Squat Challenge is an annual, five-day competition for Midwest elementary school classrooms to promote physical activity. Students compete to complete the highest average number of squats, with winning classes receiving prizes like recess equipment and t-shirts. The challenge encourages healthy habits and movement breaks.
Key Details of the Hy-Vee KidsFit Squat Challenge
Purpose: The initiative aims to increase physical activity in classrooms, encouraging students to build strength and mental determination.
Structure: It is a five-day, school-based challenge, often held in February, where classes track their total squats.
Participation: Over 600 schools in the Midwest have participated, with millions of total squats performed.
Winning Criteria: The winning class is determined by the highest average number of squats per student, sometimes exceeding 5,000 squats per student.
Rewards: Winning classrooms receive prizes, including $1,000 in rewards, fitness equipment, and dietitian-approved snacks.
How it Works: The challenge, part of the Hy-Vee KidsFit program, provides a Squat Challenge Tracker to track progress.

We met our goal of 8️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ bobcat bucks for saying OK right away! Learners have been practicing saying OK and doing things right away, because that is the Bobcat way! Staff each had a goal of identifying learners who were compliant throughout the day. The tracking system that we used was displayed for all students to see and updated throughout the week. The learners enjoyed watching the "box of chocolates" with the staff images in it turn from black and white into color to indicate that the staff had reached their goal of handing out 200 bobcats to students caught being compliant. To celebrate our success held an all-school assembly and invited the SDSU Spirit and Dance Team. Students got to watch the performance, have special time with the athletes in their classroom, and receive a sweet treat and sticker with Manners Moose saying OK! Some learners who had a bobcat buck drawn that morning also got to meet the athletes 10 minutes before the performance to chat. All classrooms enjoyed a Q & A session with dancers after the assembly, and great conversations were had.
Thanks to SDSU, to Mrs. Holm for all her planning, and to Jacob Olson for printing the wood stickers. 💙💛
