GO NOODLE

Go Noodle is an amazing website that will transform the way you teach! Go Noodle has tons of videos that provide a nice break for your students. Most videos are under five minutes long, but there are some that go up to 30 minutes (perfect for indoor recess).

Have you ever been teaching and realized that your students look tired, bored, and mentally exhausted? It’s time for Go Noodle!

When do I use Go Noodle?

• For transitions- It is hard for my students to jump right from math to science. They need a mental and physical break. It is important to let students stand up, stretch, and be with their peers. Simply go to gonoodle.com and pick one of the 5 minute dance videos! When it’s over, instruct students to get out their science books (or whatever subject comes next!).

• As a reward- When my class is being extra amazing, like they got a compliment in the cafeteria, I will reward them with a dance video on Go Noodle! • For indoor recess- It stinks when it is raining out and students can’t get their wiggles out! This is when I look for a 20-30 minute Go Noodle video to get my students moving!

• To calm a rowdy class- Yes, there are even slow, relaxing videos on Go Noodle. When your class gets back from an assembly or even a fire drill, the best thing to do is turn on a yoga video on Go Noodle. This gets the students ready to learn.
