GoNoodle
Go Noodle has activities have from 7 different categories that either encourage physical activity only, healthy lifestyle choices with physical activity, and physical activity paired educational activities. This program literally has something for all age groups. Activities vary from a few minutes to 20+ minutes. There are cartoons, famous people, popular songs and sports activities incorporated into these short videos, as to offer a continued variety to keep students motivated to move. Given the 100+ choices, teachers should consider utilizing students by asking them to sift through the choices during indoor recess or as a homework assignment. This is beneficial for several ways, one it is another way to get students moving (make a rule that students have to participated in the video before suggesting the class try it) two, it helps involve students in the decision process of what they find motivating and lastly, the teacher or physical therapist don’t have to guess at which one of the 100 activities the students in each class will be motivated to actively participate in.
