Idea for Schedule

1. Explain the benefits of movement/activity (Kahoot!)
 a. Expert Opinions
b. Why you should do this
2. Tell participants to wait until the end for a special offer (Could we do this? What would
be the special offer) - Could it be a collection of links to free TPT resources? Document
with links to websites mentioned throughout the webinar Links Page
3. Give a certificate for PD - Show link at the end of a webinar (Great idea! -Heather)
4. Ice Breaker activity - in the chat feature of Zoom, comment on your favorite type of
exercise or movement activity to do either with your students or for yourself (Kahoot!
Activity - Chris) Certificate
5. You are in the right place if….
6. Address common concerns
7. How to Amp Up Recess
8. Transitions Around School & Classroom
9. Infusing Activity into Core Academics (Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies, etc.)
a. Before discussing as a whole group, break participants into random groups and
have those groups discuss how to implement movement activities for their grade
levels/subject areas. Use Padlet to have each group takes notes on their
discussions (1 main Padlet). After a few minutes of small group discussion,
everyone comes back together. Then, briefly mention 2-3 ideas on Padlet that are
new or stand out. Continue on with discussing movement in various subject
areas.
10. Q&A at the end of the webinar
11. Presentation of feedback/evaluation form (send participants a link through chat)
