UW-Madison recently hosted its annual Day of Play, a community outreach initiative for elementary school students and their families.
The event, which took place at the UW-Madison Natatorium on Friday, Feb. 9, was organized and administered through a partnership between Rec Sports and the School of Education’s Physical Education Teacher Education program. The two groups worked together to develop and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate activities for the kids.
The PE students in particular brought their excellent planning and teaching skills to an already well-established campus event by leading the games and activities. The Physical Education Teacher Education program is housed within the School of Education’s Department of Kinesiology.
Similarly, sports clinics were led by Wisconsin Sports Club members.
