Schools look for new ways to encourage fitness

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — As groups of students pushed each other on a tire swing, fired basketballs at a hoop or bounced each other out of the four square court on a recent Thursday, several followed a solid white line along the perimeter of the Eugene Field Elementary School playground.

Four fifth-graders linked arms as they walked, taking turns pretending to be blind.

“You just close your eyes and somebody holds your hand and you walk around the playground,” Grace Hudelson explained.
