Get the Wiggles Out With Sworkit Kids

Sworkit Kids is a free app that I’ve been using and recommending for a few years. It provides prompts for one to five minute physical activities that kids can do in their classrooms or at home relatively small spaces. These activities are great for short brain breaks or to “get the wiggles out” during a long class. Recently, I discovered that you can use Sworkit Kids without installing the app on your phone

Whether you use Sworkit on your phone or in your web browser at https://app.sworkit.com/collections/kids-workouts the content is the same. You can choose from nineteen categories of activities. The categories are arranged by age group and activity type. After you’ve selected a category you can then choose the length of the activity. Once you’ve made those two selections Sworkit will show a demonstration of the physical movement to be done and set a countdown timer for doing the activity. If you’ve chosen an activity length of more than a minute you’ll be shown a few different physical movements to complete. 

Applications for Education

The activities in Sworkit Kids are great for students of all ages, but are particularly good to use with elementary school students who need a break during a Zoom session. Consider using a Sworkit activity as the transition between two topics or tasks during a Zoom session.
