Physical Activity Participation

During inclement weather we have a hard time being physically active since we have no gym. With GoNoodle and Adventure to Fitness, we stay active in the classroom by using these websites for our students during physical education class. The kindergarten thru second grade classes love these websites and teachers use GoNoodle for physical activity breaks inside their classrooms. The 3rd thru 5th grade students use Just Dance videos. We try to keep our students as active as possible even when the weather does not cooperate and no gym.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Having over 50 students inside a classroom and trying to have them do something physical was a challenge, but we conquered that with a flat screen television and GoNoodle, Adventure to Fitness and Just Dance; we also hooked up surround sound speakers.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Students now become physically active even in inclement weather by following the videos and listening to instructions. Goals to stay active even on bad weather days are met with GoNoodle, Adventure to Fitness, and Just Dance.
