Use the Move Your Way teen video challenge to engage older students
Most young kids naturally want to move, but encouraging older middle school or high school students to get active can be tough. If you’re looking for a way to engage older students, consider a multimedia classroom project — like the Move Your Way teen video challenge!
- The Tips for Creating Your Own Move Your Way® Teen Video Fact Sheet [PDF - 805 KB] has everything teens need to get started.
- Students can also watch the Move When You Can and Try Something Different videos for inspiration.
- Check out the Move Your Way® Classroom Video Challenge Teacher’s Guide [PDF – 320.1 KB] for tips on how to set up this fun classroom project.
Help students track their daily physical activity.
Try using the My Weekly Activity Tracker [PDF – 892.5 KB] as a tool to teach students about the benefits of physical activity and goal setting. Your students might find they're already more active than they thought — after all, lots of everyday things count as physical activity! And for students who want to add more activity to their day, the tracker can offer inspiration and motivation.
