Hip Hop For Kids: School House Hip Hop

Awesome workout video for kids
I am a first grade school teacher. I have to provide 30 minutes of physical activity three times a week for my students. With the weather getting cold, we are often stuck inside. I bought this video to use during P.E. WOW! The first time I put it in, it was like waving a magic wand. It shows the students how to do the moves and then they put it together. The students were familiar with some of the songs and enjoyed learning the moves. The students still love to do this and beg to use this video for P.E. Today, the chose doing this video over going outside to the playground and having free play. Other teachers in the school are going to buy this video due to the success it has had in my classroom. It has hard to motivate first graders to want to exercise, but this video has done just that! I would highly recommend this to anyone. (I have to admit, it's fun for me too!!)

Chicken noodle soup with some soda on the side!
The children I work with LOVE this DVD, especially the younger ones (K-3rd). The video itself looks like it was made with a home video camera and some of the instructions/transitions are confusing... but bottom line - the children think it's the greatest thing in the world... and wish it was longer. One of the best purchases for our after school program.
