Heart Rate Challenge!
We worked up a sweat in a heartbeat this week in Nutrition Expedition! We really got our heart rates going while we played a dice challenge game.
Ms. Sally picked up a fun set of exercise dice at the MiAEYC conference a few weeks ago, so I thought we'd give them a try! Each one has different challenges, including popping 20 bubbles in the air, slithering around the room like a snake for 1 minute, picking 15 imaginary apples and putting them in a basket, etc. While we exercised, I put on a heartbeat track to listen to so that we could keep up with the rhythm. The children had a ton of fun with this!
