Get Your Class Moving with GoNoodle

  As an early childhood major I am very interested in how my future classroom will flow. As most of you know from personal experience, students tend to get a little groggy and squirmy as the day goes on. What's the best way to get all of the jitters out? GoNoodle! GoNoodle is both a YouTube channel and a website. Either one can be used to get your class engaged and moving.
 
  The YouTube channel offers over 30 videos that are aimed at getting the class moving. These range from zumba dances, indoor recess dance activities, and videos that teach various silly dance moves for kids. Other videos offered are also more "cool down" videos. These can be used to calm a class down or help them get in focus before a test. The calming videos also include some that have important life lessons, such as letting go of bad memories, or being a team player. All a teacher has to do is go onto YouTube and search GoNoodle and all of these videos are right at their fingertips!

  Another really cool way to use GoNoodle is to make a free account. With an account a teacher creates a classroom and picks a "champ" as the class uses GoNoodle more and more, the champ grows. This is a fun incentive to get students motivated about GoNoodle. Also with an account, even more videos, dances, exercises and more are available. There are also interactive games and videos under "kinesthetic learning" that mix both learning and physical movement. Aside from all of the categories to choose from with an account, a teacher can also visit different channels within GoNoodle. These channels include the Koo Koo Kangaroo channel, KidzBop, and indoor recess. If you ever find your students needing to release some energy and get the whole class engaged look no further than GoNoodle!
