The application window for the 2025 WinterKids Winter Games is open.

Sixteen schools will be selected to participate in this four-week competition, planned from Jan. 13 to Feb. 7. The games encourage students in grades pre-K through 8 to embrace outdoor winter activity, build teamwork and foster a love of winter.

WinterKids Winter Games is a statewide challenge designed to get students, teachers and the community outside moving and learning. Over four weeks, schools will earn points by completing school-wide challenges. This year’s theme, “Weather,” aims to inspire creative learning and outdoor fun.

Participating schools receive a free Winter Games toolkit, which includes PLAYBooks and weekly incentives.

Schools can win cash prizes, with the top school receiving $5,000. More than $20,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded.

The games have support from Hannaford Snack Pals, Aroma Joe’s, MMG Insurance and Stockhouse Restaurant & Sports Pub.

The application window closes Sunday, Oct. 20.
