Camp Go Noodle
One of my favorite resources is GoNoodle.com. I use this free website of interactive videos to help students get the wiggles out, focus, dance, stretch, practice mindfulness, and much more!
This summer, GoNoodle is launching a free summer program called Camp GoNoodle that helps kids stay active, use their imaginations, and explore their world. Each week in July, there will be a set of adventures to complete, two Camp GoNoodle songs to learn, and a badge to earn!
Once you join (totally free), you’ll receive an email when the new weekly adventure has arrived. Your child can go to GoNoodle.com to check it out on their own, or you can do the adventures together as a family.
To join, go to GoNoodle.com, and sign up for a free parent account. If you already have a GoNoodle home account, all you need to do is look for your first Camp GoNoodle email on June 29.
