Physical Activity in the Classroom
Physical activity in the classroom allows students to become more involved in their learning. Many times teachers have to repeatedly tell a student to sit down or to stay still during a class lesson. This becomes very distracting. Therefore, incorporating small physical activities into the classroom can help reduce these distractions.
Examples:
Replacing raising their hand with a jumping jack.
Acting out a story.
Subject-specific Charades.
Teaching measurements through jumping.
