Game Description: Came up with an easy fitness activity that had maximal engagement. In this activity, students will go full-out exercise for 1 minute, then a 20s break, then on again for 1 minute, then a break, etc. I also use laminated posters as visuals to help students choose which exercises they wish to complete, but that’s optional. Here’s a link to the posters if you want (free download, absolutely no spam or promotion, etc): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1clLqzemKN-USZ7tOMx2oXah6YKJVVBC3/view
