We received an email that a Girl Scout Troop has been working on their Staying Fit badge, which requires the girls to start moving with an exercise routine and educates them on how to properly fuel their bodies with nutritional food. In addition to using CBHPE to locate resources, one of the troup's members, Sarah Miller, researched and located an additional, extremely useful, healthy eating guide and wanted to share it... What a great and helpful find!! Thank you, Sarah! We have, also, included this link in our " Virtual Grocery Store " resource, as it is a terrific addition.

A great tip from Jeff Bartlett ( @bartletthealth ): "My new favorite resource, and one I HIGHLY recommend for all educators, especially those in #healthed , is the “Character Strong Weekly” email from @careacter . It’s a weekly email with “a quick idea or strategy for educators to help you transform your daily work.” Sign up here: characterstrong.lpages.co/the-cs-weekly/ !

We have put together this resource that includes information and examples of the many ways Flippity can be used in HPE. 2 of the examples were created using resources shared by Andy Milne (@carmelhealth) and Kait Hall (@MrsKaitlynHall) and our thanks go out to them for the initial shares. The resource includes tutorials and tips, as well as examples that can be edited to meet your students' needs. A great option for use of this tool at the High School level is to have students create their own Flippity tool! The Badge Tracker is a very impressive tool and is great for backward design. The example provided offers an option for teaching and assessing the following: S3.M1.6 Physical Activity Badge Describes how being physically active leads to a healthy body S4.M4.6 Encouragement Badge Accepts differences among classmates in physical development, maturation, and varying skill levels by providing encouragement and positive feedback. S3.M7.6 Skill-related Fitness Identifies the components of skill-related fitness The following Flippity Tools are highlighted in the file: Quiz Show Random Name Picker Randomizer Scavenger Hunt Manipulatives Fun with Words Badge Tracker Bingo Matching Game Tournament Bracket
