I created this play diary as a learning log to chronicle my new experiences finding and playing educational games.

"I Heard Hurdle Race"
"I Heard Hurdle Race" The “I Heard Hurdle Race” from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website offers a game where the player answers true or false questions to clear hurdles to win the race. I played this game two times. The first time I answered them all and won the race!!! I played again; this time answering questions incorrectly to see what happens if the player doesn’t know the answers. The second time I played there were a few repeat questions but overall there were enough questions so the player could play multiple times and continue to learn each time. I liked this game because it asked good questions about exercise and then gave a good explanation for each answer. I think that students could learn a lot from this game about good exercise practices and I would definitely recommend it to my students. I think it is very important to discuss healthy exercise and physical activity practices so that children can apply what they know for the rest of their lives. I would recommend that my students play this game during free time, as a station activity in PE, or even as a whole group activity which could lead to peer discussions about each subject after a question is presented to them from the game.
