Free VERB "Anytime Doubletime" materials available now for middle schools

Free, ready-to-use materials that teachers can use to increase students’ physical activity are available through Centers for Disease Control. ”Anytime Doubletime” is a 10-day program designed for middle school teachers to increase the number of hours tweens are physically active before and after school. “Anytime Doubletime” provides teachers and students with new game ideas, like "hula-hoop hoops" and "birdie ball." With “Anytime Doubletime,” two VERBs make one new game – any time!

By leveraging the national popularity of VERB in your school through the “Anytime Doubletime” program, tweens will have a great time becoming more active with new twists on old games. Teachers who participate in "Anytime Doubletime" this spring have an opportunity to win a $1,000 grant to support their school's physical education program. The free, ready-to-use materials can be viewed and ordered at www.cdc.gov/youthcampaign/materials/AnytimeDoubletime.htm.
