Artifact Description (provide context about the artifact by describing what, when, where, why, how)
“Heart Power” this tag game is used to reinforce three important ways to keep your heart healthy. This game will help students from the grade levels from K-4; it will help them understand the difference from eating healthy and unhealthy foods. Also, this will teach the students that they need to keep their heart moving. However, lesson to be learned as well is that smoking is bad for your heart. There is also a chant that Teach the American Heart Associations motto for having a healthy heart. “You can have a healthy heart, it’s as easy as 1,2,3!” “Eating healthy stuff” “Move around Enough” “Live tobacco-free.” There are some things that you should know about this game called “Heart Power.” When playing it should take place in an open space such as the gym.
Things You Will Need: Wrist bands or Scrimmage vest, I would use the different color scrimmage vest because the students will be able to tell the difference from each other.
There are three rounds to this game:
Round One: “Eating Healthy Food” the taggers are to put on the vest and they are called the “unhealthy food.” The object is to get the others to stay away from the unhealthy foods. When you are the tagged by an unhealthy tagger the student is to jog in place with hand over heart. Then two people run around join hands over the tagged person. (This kind of like “London Bridge”) To get free the tagged person has to say “Eat Healthy Foods.”
Round Two: “Move Around Enough” exercise is for the heart, the taggers are to put on a different color vest and they are called Couch potatoes. In this round the students unfreezing the child jogging in place and they join hands and say, “Move around Enough.”
Round Three: “Living Tobacco-Free” the taggers in a also a different color vest are the taggers called “cigarettes,” and they should stay away from them. The child unfreezing the tagged student says, “Live Tobacco-Free.”
*At the end of the “Heart Power” game see if students will be able to tell you the three ways to keep a healthy heart. “Eat Healthy,” “Move around Enough,” and “Live Tobacco-Free.”

Reflection (reflect on why you chose this artifact and how the artifact has contributed to your development as a teacher generally and as a teacher with a Differentiated Instruction perspective).
I have never played this game before but I have done something close to it when younger. I though this Heart Power game is a great idea to teach the students the importance of Healthy and Unhealthy foods to eat. It is a lesson that it made into a game and helps the students understand how your heart is very important. However, the students are also learning that smoking is bad for your heart. I would play this game with my students when having my own classroom.
