Hi, I’m Mark Bayaua, I’m the director of Programming Innovation at THINK Together. We’ve been using Skillastics for the last 2 years, with Digital Specialty Programs have been loved by our staff and students. And we’re also starting to implement Skillastics Activity Kits, and we’re really hoping to bring this to our organization all across California. Skillastics has delivered above and beyond support on multiple occasions. They provide quality training and have been valuable thought partners in how we support our students. I love how regularly Jess checks in with us. She’s always anticipating our needs and offering us help in any way her team can provide it. So, thank you Skillastics for partnering with us at THINK Together to provide quality physical activity programming and providing opportunities for students the past two years and many years to come.

Hey. I’m Cassandra Manis from Escambia School District located in beautiful Pensacola Florida where our beaches are white as snow and our water is clear as the pool. What is it that I like about Skillastics? Well we’ve got many Skillastics that we use in the District level so checkout different schools. But we also have schools that purchased it themselves. I like three things mainly with Skillastics, the first that I like is the fact that it is super easy to setup, I mean you layout the pieces put them in individual group and boom you’re good. The second thing that I like is that it provides multiple levels, it allows student to choose the level that they want, easy, medium, or more vigorous if they are at that level. Uhm, and then they has a variety of skills activities. And the third thing that I like is that you can really use this activity with large groups like 60, 70, 80 kids, I don’t know maybe even more but you’ve seemed them comfortably with that many students. But within that whole group activity of them all playing on the same board, they participate in their smaller groups spreadout on their mini little game boards, so it kindda help us with behavior management, classroom management, classroom environment. Those are just a few reasons why I like Skillastics, maybe you like it for those too, maybe there’s something else but if you don’t know hope you check it out and find out.
“It’s really something that’s engaging for students and is easy to set up. It also has multiple levels of repetitions for all abilities and is great for large groups. We've purchased on a district level as well as individual schools in our district have ordered Activity Kits on their own."
Skillastics is aligned with a number of national guidelines, including National Physical Education Standards, HEPA Standards, SEL Competencies, California Expanded Learning Quality Standards, and the Next Generation Science Standards (STEM Skillastics).

"We have implemented Skillastics® at all elementary expanded learning program sites within our district. Our students are having a blast and Skillastics® is changing their attitudes about physical activity! It is extremely easy for our staff to implement and ensure that we are meeting our goal of 30-45 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day!”
