Keep Active With MOVE IT

Tired of sitting at your desk or the computer? Do you need your students to release a bit of energy?

If you answered yes to either question, then Move It is certainly worth a try. Get the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. It’s the easiest way to be reminded that you need a break. Set the notification interval and your screen will present you with a random brain break and exercise to complete in less than a minute. Hit done and the next break will arrive after the designated interval elapses again.

Active Body, Active Mind – GoNoodle

Physical activity helps stimulate the brain and improves retention and focus. Students with low energy become sluggish and fidgety, their thoughts wander, they have a hard time recalling or retaining class discussions and their test performance tends to drop.

GoNoodle is a fabulous resource to get your students moving and stimulated in between lessons or before testing. GoNoodle energizes students to where they become more focused and ready to learn.  Even test scores have been known to improve.

GoNoodle videos provide movement breaks that get kids up and moving. There are all sorts of different videos with dances and songs, etc. Some simulate running and jumping and others are calming breathing exercises.
