GoNoodle is a free resource. Their website provides hundreds of movement and mindfulness videos created by child development experts to be used in the classroom or at home for a fun recess break during distance learning.
Designed for kindergarten through 5th grade, GoNoodle’s easy-to-access activities are interactive, complete with teams, mascots, and rewards!
Yoga, mindfulness, and fun visuals for kids. Parents and students can quickly stream any of these interactive yoga adventures right on the Cosmic Kids YouTube Channel, so it’s pretty ideal for guided recess time while distance learning.
Sworkit Kids is a free app for educators that offers fun and customizable kids workouts ideal for students grades 2 through 8. Housed within the adult version of the same app, your students can choose a kid-friendly workout from categories like “Stand Up and Move” and “Agility,” or they can create a custom workout. The duration of the workout is also customizable.
Playworks has developed free video tutorials of games that follow CDC guidelines and can be played at home with little to no equipment. Your students can follow along by accessing the tutorials at any time on their YouTube Channel.

Very active and easy-to-follow 5-8 minutes video workouts for kids and grown-ups alike, Joe Wicks has also started doing virtual P.E. classes Monday through Friday – called “P.E. with Joe” – made exactly for this crazy season we’re all in with so many students stuck in front of a computer all day at home.
SPARKhome has created free, wellness-focused P.E. lesson plans for grades K-12 (3 weeks of materials for K-2, 3-6, and higher)! The plans feature videos, games, and movement activities designed to be done indoors in order to create a full plan for physical activities while learning from home. Both you as the teacher AND your students and their families can create a free account to access the materials, which is really helpful!!
As an educator, Kahoot! can be used to review and check-in on your students’ knowledge, for formative assessment, or as a fun break.
Kids follow along with the dance moves and challenges, plus get a great cardio work out in! Bright colors, fashion-forward, and their fav music… this might end up being their go-to recess activity!
