Abstract Synopsis

  • The study examined how a modified version of the Good Behavior Game (GBG) can encourage elementary school students to be more physically active during recess.
  • Students were divided into two teams, and the team with the most steps received raffle tickets for a schoolwide lottery, aiming to motivate increased activity.
  • Results showed that students took more steps when playing the GBG compared to regular recess without the game, indicating the game effectively promoted physical activity.]
