Integrating Technology into 

Kindergarten P.E. and Health.

Once upon a time there were two 

people named Anyssa and Amari. They 

were best friends. They loved talking, 

kindergarten, technology, and touring 

fun places. Together they learn how to 

integrated technology into the 

kindergarten P.E. and health 

curriculum. 

Problem: The school does not provide 

me with enough resources to effectively 

teach my students about healthy habits. 

Instructional Strategy: Using 

interactive websites to teach the 

students about healthy habits like 

nutrition and taking care of their teeth 

such as foodPlay.com and 

http://pbskids.org/games/healthyeating.

html.

Relative Advantage:

Students are engaged in the 

lesson because of colorful 

activities, fun videos, and game-

like features. 

Expected Outcome:

Increase in knowledge of healthy 

habits. Decrease in behavior 

problems during healthy habits 

lessons.

children.

characters are popular characters from PBSkids. 

USDA

http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/kids-pyramid.html

General information about nutrition and the food 

pyramid for teachers and parents. 

Problem: I see students in older grades being 

bad role models for the kindergarteners by not 

having healthy habits. 

Instructional Strategy: The kindergarteners will 

make a video using a digital camera and iMovie 

for Mac or Windows Movie Maker to teach the 

other grades about healthy habits. Each student 

will say one thing that they do to stay healthy and 

why it is important. The teacher will upload the 

video into a movie maker.   The kindergarteners 

will show the video to the school in an all school 

assembly to promote school wide healthy habits.  

Relative Advantage:

Students will be motivated to create 

this video as they will be using this to 

teach the rest of the school about 

healthy habits. 

Expected Outcome:

An increase in healthy habits and 

healthy choices in all grades.

Problem: Kindergartener's forget which 

foods are healthy and which are not 

because they have not been motivated   and 

engaged when learning about nutrition. 

Instructional Strategy: The teacher uses 

a game called Mission Nutrition:

e_nutrition.html#cat122 with the class to 

answer nutrition questions about various 

foods. 

Relative Advantage: Students are 

engaged and motivated 

to learn about nutrition and healthy 

eating. 

Expected Outcome: Students choose 

healthy eating choices during snack and 

meal time. Students educate their family 

about nutrition.
