Today's generation of kids is not very active due to the endless choices of video games, virtual reality, internet, and other electronics they may have access to at home. In an attempt to change that, the students need some activity that will pique their interest while at the same time having them to move around and be active outside of the classroom. Childhood obesity is a rapidly growing problem in our children due to lack of inactivity. In Physical Education, students should be constantly moving and interacting with one another. The resources I am requesting such as footballs, jump ropes, soccer balls, basketballs will get kids to moving because they love those sports. For the times when classes have to held inside, I like the resources like the Connect Four, Twister, and Tic Tac Toe will get their mental work-out ignited as well instead of being on electronics on a rainy day. Daily exercise is essential for the young hearts of my students and the pedometers will help them track the number of steps they take during class and hopefully motivate them keep moving!
