Are you looking for inspiration to get kids active during the winter months? Check out two new features on Kidnetic.com: the Move Mixer and The Kore!
These fun activities are designed to get kids up and moving while they surf Kidnetic.com (http://kidnetic.com). An interactive and educational Web site from the IFIC Foundation, it was designed to appeal to kids ages 9 to 12 and their parents to help prevent childhood overweight and obesity by promoting healthful eating and physical activity.
In the Move Mixer, kids follow a “dance leader,” and can choose routines from 10 pre-mixed dances. Kids also can create their own routines by using different dance moves and music. Kids can take the dances at their own pace, slowing down the speed when they are learning the steps and speeding it up as they increase their skills. Four types of music are available to help kids “Get out of (their) chairs and shake some air!”
The Move Mixer is one of four activities found in The Kore, a physical activity “portal” for all Kidnetic.com games. Other activities in The Kore include Wet Head Games, Scavenger Hunt, and Fitness Challenge. The Kore is meant to help kids tap into their inner “Kore” of energy.
The Kore and Move Mixer join already popular Kidnetic.com features such as Busy Buddy, Recipe Roundup, and InnerG. Kidnetic.com celebrated its first anniversary last summer and has received nearly 1.3 million visitors since its launch in June 2002.
