Teachers Unleash Creativity: Gonoodle Launches Social Media Contest Celebrating 'brain Breaks' in Classrooms

Blazer Fresh is a hip hop trio that encourages classroom movement and engagement.

This competition, in collaboration with Jersey Mike’s Subs, is designed to encourage teachers to engage with their students through movement and activity.

DAVIE, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GoNoodle, the #1 kids' content platform for the classroom and home, is launching an exhilarating social media competition tailored exclusively for elementary school teachers to celebrate the release of new content.

This competition, in collaboration with Jersey Mike’s Subs, is designed to encourage teachers to engage with their students in an active way by incorporating movement into their daily routines. The initiative invites elementary educators to showcase their creativity and dance moves on popular social media platforms, TikTok and Instagram, while dancing to one of GoNoodle’s new Blazer Fresh songs of their choice: Subs or We Are Blazer Fresh 2.0.

As part of the competition, teachers are encouraged to share videos of themselves dancing to the songs, and incorporating dance breaks into their classroom routine. GoNoodle and Jersey Mike's believe that fostering a dynamic and positive classroom environment is essential for students' well-being and academic success. The social media competition is a celebration of the partnership's commitment to making learning enjoyable and interactive, promoting the benefits of movement and creativity in education.

Teachers across the nation are invited to join the movement by creating their own version of the We Are Blazer Fresh 2.0 or Subs dance moves, which can be learned directly from the Blazer Fresh channel on the GoNoodle platform powered by Jersey Mike’s, or via popular TikTok creators Sara James (@saraa_jamess), and Kristen Guarino (@kristen.guarino).
