Move It games are PowerPoint that have built-in brain breaks. There are animated timers and sound effects. In these pictures, we were playing Beginning Sounds Move It. I have these games for tons of reading and math skills. My kiddos usually use dry erase boards to show their work. I love this because I can do a quick assessment. It is a great opportunity to talk out our thinking - how did we get our answers, what strategies did we use.

We work our brains then our bodies - brains then bodies - brains then bodies. We can do these activities for a long or short period of time. We don't need to "finish" the entire PowerPoint. If we have just ten or 15 minutes, this is a great time filler. I usually spend lots of time talking about each question and I can spend 45 minutes doing Move It activities and not even get to the end. We repeat the same games again and again because they are good practice.
I have a bunch of these games that are plain and great to use any time of year.
I also have some fun theme games. There are some fun Pirate Move It games. These include fun activities like "Hop on yer peg leg!". There is pirate music and a parrot squawks to get back to the game.
I have Ocean themed games where kids will "wiggle their tentacles" and more to wipe-out music. A shark swims across the screen to signal them to get back to work.
I have Halloween games and will be releasing more holidays and other fun themes.
This is a terrific way to practice skills with your kiddos and have fun at the same time! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about these activities!
