As a school based speech
language pathologist, I work with students from grades kindergarten to 10th
grade. With that broad range of ages, abilities and variety of goals, there are
so many resources and tools that I need to know about and utilize on a daily
basis. One of the tools that I love and that my students love is called Go
Noodle (www.gonoodle.com). This website
is so amazing and can be used for a wide range of students! Did I mention that
it is free? Hooray for awesome free
resources!!!

Go Noodle is a website that
is known for online videos that focus on physical activity and interactive
learning. It has many different offerings to include but not limited to: Kidz
Bop sing and dance along songs, holiday themed dance videos, videos focused on
gross and fine motor skills, videos focused on building empathy and videos with
more of a curricular focus. Below I will tell you about the ways that I love to

My students have 2 favorite
channels on Go Noodle- Kidz Bop and Koo Koo Kangaroo. Both offer great music
that is catchy and makes students want to interact and have fun together. I use
these skills to target the following goals:

If I am using this resource
within a cooperative group activity, I typically will use it towards the end of
the group. The students that I use this with really enjoy listening to music
and some even dance along. Listening to music and doing so within a group is a
functional life skill that will help students increase their leisure skill
repertoire. So what are you waiting for? Check out this website today and let
me know how it goes!
