Health/PE and Art/Music Websites

Health:
The first website, entitled kidshealth.com, I found months ago when I was finding websites for my students to use. It just so happened to be a part of our homework assignment for the book! It is an amazing resource because it has kid-friendly language, games and lessons around health. It is also a great resource for parents and educators, to learn how to teach and implement health, as well as teach about tough subjects like death and serious illness.

The second website is BAM (for Body and Mind), which is ran by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is a great resource because it is a fun website for kids to use on their own. It has a comic-style with cool videos and games that teach about health. I can't think of a kid who wouldn't like this site!

Physical Education:
The first website called Get Active Stay Active is an amazing resource for PE because it allows students to create a workout schedule and eating plan, as well as being able to record their progress. This is important because students can do this at home or during school, so long as the student has Internet access.

The second website, kidnetic.com, is an online exercise and nutrition site for students. It has a workout video creator, where students can make up moves and then play them and do them with the video, as well as recipes and guides to healthy eating. This is a fun, interactive site for movement!

Art:
The first website is Crayola.com, which is a great resource for kids, parents, and teachers. It has thousands of lesson plans, online resources for students and great for at home art without a mess!

The second website, the National Gallery of Art for Kids, is an amazing site for students to learn about art, galleries, and creativity. The students can view art done by professionals as well as students, as well as making their own art in the Art Zone!

Music:
The first website is KidsRock.org, which is a site that kids can write their own songs and music! It is a great resource for students to play and explore on, but also for teachers to teach about rhythm, song writing, and performance!

The second website, entitled Kaboose, which is a music game resource, teaching students about sound, instruments, rhythm and other music topics. It is tons of fun and very interactive. You might want headphones for students for this site!
