PE Central presents our collection of online programs built to motivate children of all ages to become more physically active.
The Log It Site debuted in Aug. 2001. It is age-appropriate for 4th grade and up. The program encourages students to record physical activity steps/miles online. It is not built to record activity minutes. The program features a virtual hike around the USA with stops at each state capital, students can set daily goals, compare their progress with others and they can compete in a Challenge Hike. Teachers can view their students UN's and PW's, add steps/miles for students, communicate with students and they can view their class and student progress.
The Kids Quiz debuted in Aug. 2002. It is age-appropriate for 4th - 6th grade. It is an interactive, educational weekly quiz where kids test their knowledge about nutrition, health, and physical activity. Each week a new question is posted and kids have a week to answer the question correctly. Kids answering correctly are eligible to win a T-shirt prize in a weekly drawing. Kids not answering correctly are shown the correct answer and can come back the next day to try a new question. Prizes are mailed directly to the child’s physical education teacher.
