WittFitt: Bouncy Seats

Iconoculture: WittFitt wants to harness kids’ propensity for movement and improve their fitness and focus by replacing classroom chairs with bouncy stability balls. The program educates students and teachers on benefits of a healthy spine and core muscles, and how to safely sit on stability balls.
Teachers using the WittFitt program report that ball-based students are more attentive than when sitting in chairs because they can fidget without being disruptive. WittFitt is being used in classrooms in nine states. Similar programs are in use in European classrooms.
Evolutionaries like a better mousetrap — and sometimes you don’t have to look far to find innovative solutions to common problems. Getting kids to change the way they interact with a classroom can help them change their minds.
