My kids’ school did it and the results were pretty awful until people pointed out that you have to explicitly tell second graders to make sure they are doing calisthenics in a safe place so they aren’t tripping over school supplies and knocking over lamps, or just flailing their arms into stuff that will hurt them. My kid broke her school-issue iPad on the first day because they didn’t even think to tell the kids to take their headphones off. They just said, “ok, let’s do jumping jacks.” Crash. Edit: the scariest was when I was getting an early start on some dinner prep and my kid came sprinting through the kitchen in socks while I was going from one side to the other while holding a big knife. They were doing a scavenger hunt and each item would be announced and they’d have 60 seconds to go try to find it. I had to email the teacher about that one and ask them to be cognizant of the safety of what they are asking the kids to do, given that they have no clue what environment each kid is in.
