Go Noodle is a GREAT website that shows interactive videos that gives kids "brain breaks" during class. Go Noodle tracks the brain breaks that you take and the progress you make in them to allow you to set goals for your class to achieve. I took this excerpt from the parent letter that you can send home with students once you create an account for your class because I think it explains what Go Noodle is all about very well.
"Go Noodle uses short periods of physical activity –dancing, running, jumping, deep breathing,
and more – to help kids channel their abundant energy. Kids wiggle. Go Noodle gets the wiggles
out, so we can keep on learning!
Go Noodle is great when:
• we need to focus
•we’re transitioning from one subject to another
•we’re feeling stressed or anxious
• we’ve had a great day and need a reward"Follow these steps to access Go Noodle, set up an account, and get started this week! :)
