General Information:

Fit4Kids is a site that has lesson plans for all subject areas that include some kind of physical activity in the lesson.  This website includes movements that can improve students focus and lists the best movement for each subject being taught. For example, when teaching a subject like social studies, it can be difficult to incorporate movement but this website gives a lesson plan with incorporated movements or games so students are more, physically, involved in their learning.

Core Integration: 

When teaching multiple subjects it can be difficult to incorporate movements that are related to the lesson being taught. We could use this website to involve movements into those subjects that do not always relate to the subject. We can use this website after a lesson to play a review game to really get the information into the students’ brains while also having fun.

Standards:

NHES:

• Describe how relevant influences of school and community affect personal physical activity practices and behavior
• Identify situations which need a decision related to physical activity 
• Choose a safe and healthy option when making a decision related to physical activity
