The Mamba Challenge is a fun and creative way to encourage children to become more active during the school day. It is an excellent physical activity to help meet the Ministry of Education’s mandatory 20 minutes of Daily Physical Activity (DPA) requirement in schools.

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit and Health Action Windsor-Essex challenge all students, principals, teachers, staff and parents across Windsor and Essex County to dance the Mamba for at least 10 minutes all on the same day and time.

This year the Mamba Challenge targets all Grade one classes in Windsor-Essex County. The Challenge will take place on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 10 a.m. At that time, students, teachers, parents, volunteers, and staff in each Grade one class will dance the Mamba.

The event is FREE, however, schools must register by fax before Wednesday, December 5, 2007.
