My Project

Hello, I am asking for help to obtain these memory and reaction cubes. Many times in PE we work every muscle to stay healthy except our brain. These cubes would help students to develop their minds in the gym as well as their bodies. These students can play the memory games on the cubes in the gym when they are taking a break, in stations, and we can use them for exercise games in which running and the use of the cube would be used. It will be fun to watch the students' progress through the use of these cubes. My special needs students can use these in their classrooms as well to work on reactions and memory.
