My Project

I have a class of high-energy 5th and 6th-grade students in a small elementary school. We rotate for various subjects so on average at least 75 kids would be directly benefiting from these bands daily. Often we are packed in like sardines but still need to wiggle and get energy out. Bouncy Bands would allow my students to move around more but still stay technically in their seats.

Students who have anxiety can channel that nervous energy while listening using Bouncy Bands.

There have been studies that show the benefits of using bouncy bands in the classroom to help with anxiety and focus. They help students stay active while learning and it helps stimulate their minds as they are sitting.
