Physical Fitness & Health in 21st Century

Physical fitness and healthy living are HUGE areas of importance today. Obesity numbers are at its highest points and for the first time ever children have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. If our goal is to prepare our students to better responsible adults then we need to teach them to make healthy responsible choices. Daily Physical Activity is an important part of our classroom practices. For years I have been using the Just Dance videos on Youtube and playing them for the kids to watch and dance along too.
Recently, I discovered this fantastic website that contains 100s on activities for students to watch and guide them through activities. GoNoodle gamifies your DPA lessons and measures your activities. Categories include: Dancing, Yoga, Sports, Math, Games and more. Try it yourself and see your students enjoy living a healthy lifestyle. Best of all it is all free!
