Teaching students with special needs is all about adapting our materials to engage and allow for learning to transpire. In adapted physical education class, our students rotate in stations that incorporate fitness skills and exercise such as cycling, yoga, hand-eye coordination, loco-motor and fine-motor skills. What a difference it would be if one of those stations could be a technology based fitness station. The Nintendo Switch has multiple games that engage students in exercise in a fun and interactive way! Fitness games such as "Just Dance" and "Sports Party" can be the bridge that connects healthy life styles and leisure activities. Two of our student's most difficult challenges are positive social interactions and being physically active. The interactive activity games provide our students an opportunity to grow exponentially in both areas.
Exergames for physical education courses provides physical, social, and cognitive benefits.
Exergames are enjoyable tools that increase energy expenditure during play, motivate players to become more physically active, promote social interaction, and enhance cognitive performance.
