I recently hosted a Tip for Tuesday Webinar and I was amazed at the incredible resources I found as I created a My Portfolio collection. With warm weather settling in now is a great time for everyone to learn more about health, physical education and fitness. Listed below are a collection of resources including interactive explorations, fitness challenges, nutrition demonstrations, games, and even instructional dance videos. I enjoyed sharing the items below and many other resources during my Tip for Tuesday presentation. Use these resources to plan a classroom unit, a school-wide event, or a family fitness quest.
