Video games in PE

Video games are now being integrated into PE classes. They are not only played with thumbs today, but with whole body movements. Every system on the market today have some type of whole body movement integrated into them.  The Wii is all whole body movements, while the Xbox has the Kinect and the PS3 has the move attachment. Students already play these games and enjoy them so teachers should use them to their advantage, they know the students will respond great to them.  Along with getting healthier they also enjoy doing it.Some students are not involved in sports or any other physical activity, PE is the only place where they exercise. Some people enjoy PE, while others do not. PE teachers constantly try to make their class interesting and engaging for all students. It seems odd, but video games can make PE fun and still promote being active.
