Five Reasons Why Skillastics® is the Smart Choice
Skillastics® Works!
- With budget cuts affecting Physical Education, more and more classroom teachers who are not fitness or sport experts are asked to teach physical activity.
Skillastics® is easy to set up, the activities are easy to teach because the detailed manual explains each activity thoroughly, and once Skillastics® is taught, the instructor can stand back and assess the children’s movement and interaction. How many products for under $220 can allow a math teacher or an after-school coordinator to instantly provide a large group of children a complete physical activity workout? - Skillastics® can get up to 100 children playing at one time.
Each Skillastics® Activity Kit can work with very large groups of children. The children break up into six different teams with each team completing the activities independently from each other. So for example, most groups average around 40-50 children. Those 40-50 children will be working together in much more manageable teams of about 6-8. How many products for under $220 can keep an entire class or group of children playing together at one time? - Skillastics® offer complete, age appropriate fitness and sport specific activities which fulfill the National Physical Education Standards, NASPE Physical Activity Guidelines, as well as prepare children for FitnessGram testing.
Each Activity Kit was created with the National Physical Education Standards in mind. Fitness and Fitness Xtreme Skillastics® address all five fitness components: cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility and body composition. How many products for under $220 can address so many aspects of the National Physical Education Standards? - All of the Skillastics® Activity Kits (except for Halfpint and Halfpint Bilingual), can be combined with the Skillastics® Nutritional Cards!
Skillastics® Activity Kits can be combined with the Skillastics® Nutritional Cards to combine a fitness activity program with a nutritional curriculum, the two most important components that help children lead a healthy lifestyle. By combining Fitness and Nutrition, children learn the importance of keeping their body strong and eating right at the same time! How many products for under $260 can help successfully fight the war against childhood obesity, probably the greatest health threat to our young people today? - Not every facility is blessed with a gym, or for that matter a large area where children can play!
Skillastics® can be played indoors or outdoors. Not much space is needed to play – in fact Skillastics® CAN be played in a classroom, placing the miniature throughout the room and allowing groups to work at each of the stations! Some customers have even successfully used Skillastics® in a hallway! How many products for under $220 can provide a complete fitness activity for children no matter what the facility limitations may be?
