Context
Using a combination of AR based games, this turns the iPad into a arcade game similar to those like the Dance off genre, Students will challenge each other to who can complete the games with the best score while getting a workout.
Preparation and Flow
Start with a physical warm up to ensure our muscles and joints are ready.
Start Active Arcade on the iPad and choose your preferred activity. Follow the instructions in the app and place the iPad in front of the participants on the floor or table.
Make sure to have ample room for students to move, jog, jump and stretch.
Have students rotate through the activity station.
Depending on the game mode, you can have a versus mode where 2 students compete against each other.
Simple and great app to get those bodies primed for a workout.
Possible Extension
Some teachers have used this as part of the Home-based learning regime, getting students to exercise at least 10 -30 mins before the start of the HBL days. Getting students to log their activity while engaged in fun is a great way to stay active.
