Why WORDS?

We asked educators like you
what words they hear most often when they are with students.

The words in the WORD Workout library represent common emotions that kids 4-18 feel everyday. These quick lessons will help kids better understand and manage their feelings.

For students of all
ages + backgrounds
PK-12 lessons

“

As children, they struggle with how they feel and they need a way to be appropriate and to make good choices and to handle the challenges of life that they face…Not many curricula you come across are so connected to the real world.

”

John, elementary principal

“

I used to feel a lot of pressure and get stressed a lot, but now because I started doing the physical exercises, I think that really actually helps me a lot.

”

Pauline, elementary student

“

This marries brilliantly with health and physical education curriculum and content.

”

Kate L., middle school teacher

“

[These workouts] are a way for you to get comfortable and be able to express yourself and connect with anything that you’re having a hard time with.

”

Alison R, 5th grade

“

This is a new and fresh way to help kids channel their energy and emotions. Combining physical and mental is great.
