Use the free online designer tool called Canva to create activity cards

You can create free randomizer activity cards using online tools such as Canva or Google Slides. Many Physical Educators have gotten creative by building randomizer cards for cardio exercises, muscular strength exercises, colors, numbers (dice), coins, locomotor movements, or locations in a house. The possibilities are endless! Once you are done creating your slides, simply export them as jpeg images onto your computer.

Kapwing is a free online image slideshow creator tool.

Using the free online tool, Kapwing, you can create an image slideshow and export it as a video. Click on Tools > Photo Montage. Add your photos and change the duration to .1 seconds.

Play your slideshow back to make sure it’s exactly what you want. This will export a very short video without a loop.

Kapwing also includes a free online video loop editor. Find the loop tool within “Tools” in the navigation menu.

Now that you have your video, you need to loop it so it so your activity cards repeat themselves. Kapwing also includes a tool to loop your video! Click on “Tools” in the menu and then scroll down to “Loop Video“. Upload your video and select Loop “10x”. This will loop your video ten times.

Download your video.

Upload your video and loop it one more time to make your video even longer. Once again, select “10x”. This will loop your video so it’s over 1 minute long. Continue to download and loop your video until you have reached your desired timeframe.

Download your final video.

Step 4: Share your Video

After you have your final video, you can upload it on YouTube, Google Classroom, Google slides, or play it while sharing your screen during PE.
