Extertainment
(US) Extertainment is simply 'entertainment' plus 'exercise'—the school district of Redlands, California are hoping to 'hop-on-the-good-foot' and start utilising this new movement in tackling childhood obesity.
By installing playstations in every classroom and using 'games' such as Dance Dance Revolution and Eyetoy: Play, it is hoped pupils will become engaged in physical activity through the competitive and fun nature of the games.
'One of the things being blamed for childhood obesity is video games, so this is fighting fire with fire' said Sue Buster, the district's director of elementary education.
