We all know that students are more sedentary than ever - their idea of moving might involve going from the couch to the refrigerator and back. Part of the reason students aren't active enough is that they don't see activity as fun. With this multimedia package, they'll have loads of fun being active. This resource is packed with teacher-tested ideas that will help you increase activity in limited space such as hallways, classrooms, and utility rooms (or in the expanse of the great outdoors) and get your students active with limited equipment. A reference for elementary and middle school physical education, music, dance, and adapted physical education teachers. Also a reference for parents, recreation leaders, and home-schooling families. Includes the following features:
*A teacher guide featuring 54 fun fitness activities, 32 moving-to-music activities, 14 choreographed line dances, tips on training leaders, and 9 keys to implementing a daily physical activity program
*A CD with 80 minutes of music for use with fitness station activities, aerobics, and 3- to 10-minute dance routines
*A DVD-ROM with over 90 minutes of video showing 14 dance routines with selected moves and breakdowns of routines. In addition, the DVD-ROM offers more than 230 reproducible activity cards in PDF format, which you can print and use in your classroom. On the DVD-ROM, you'll also find demonstrations of over 100 funky moves that you can put to any music to create your own activity routine, breakdowns of dance moves, and complete dances that you can follow.
Research has proven that short activity breaks can improve academic performance - make a positive difference in the lives of your students.
