GoNoodle is Here!

Do you need an online digital exercise tool for your class? No need to look any further, GoNoodle is here! 

                                           

GoNoodle is a digital exercise tool for teachers. Its main objective is to get kids moving and involved in physical activity, which is important for young kids as school is sometimes the only time of day they get any physical activity.

The online resource offers films and exercises geared towards younger kids that not only promote physical activity but can also support STEM, mindfulness, SEL, and other courses. It was created by a health entrepreneur who became concerned when she observed that young people nowadays appear to be exercising less than previous generations. GoNoodle aims to change that and promote physical activity rather than discourage it. 

GoNoodle Tips and Tricks  

Use GoNoodle at The Start of Class 

It's a good idea to start each lesson with a brief exercise to pique students' interest and prepare them for concentration. The video can be related to class content but doesn’t have to be.   GoNoodle can be used as a lighthearted approach to start each lesson because the videos are only a few minutes long.

 

Use GoNoodle to Promote SEL 

Many videos on GoNoodle are centred around SEL. These can be a terrific method to rapidly teach students the value of being understanding of their own feelings and being compassionate to others.

 

Host a GoNoodle Dance Competition 

A GoNoodle dance can be used to get kids moving and having fun. The teacher can offer modest awards, like stickers, for the winners of various categories, such as "most active dancer," "fastest dancer," etc.

FUN FACT ...

GoNoodle is FREE for all educators
