App of the Week: Sworkit Kids


Fun, customizable workout app helps kids get fit

What’s It Like? 

Both physical education (PE) and classroom teachers can use Sworkit Kids to get kids exercising. It’s a perfect short activity to get students moving after a long lesson or first thing in the morning, or as a longer activity during gym class. Sworkit Kids can be used anywhere that the app can be shown to students: in PE class, in a regular classroom, at home, outside, inside, while watching television, while doing homework, or with friends or family.

No sign-up is needed to use Sworkit Kids, and there are no ads. Because the exercises are demonstrated visually, it’s useful for English language learners (ELLs) as well as students with hearing impairments. Very little space is needed for each student, but the exercises will still get them moving enough to get a good workout. Students can share their favorite workouts with friends and family, and students can also do these workouts at home.

Price: Free

Grades: 2-8

Rating: 4/5

Pros: Customizable workouts and settings, exercises are easy to learn.

Cons: There isn’t much there to extend the learning, and there’s minimal support for teachers.

Bottom line: This app will get kids moving, jumping, and bending to increase their overall fitness through exercise.
