Baez et al., 2023 outlined the effects of using a group game at recess with preschool aged children to increase step counts.
This article is one of the only articles in the winter edition of JABA that provided useful information that can be applied in our daily practice as BCBAs!
Research has already shown us that getting outside, fresh air and movement has immense benefits for all children!
This study further proves that getting outside is beneficial, but implementing group games will increase step count in the children, which will provide more benefits overall in and outside of school!
As BCBAs who work with preschool aged children, the “T-Rex Game” is something we will be trying with our kids in the school setting!
