Put your hands up if your school is participating in some kind of athletics day, cross country or other sports carnival this term? Kids love the chance to get out of the classroom and move their bodies!
But wait a moment… your students don’t think all the fun with moving their bodies happens outside of the classroom, do they?! Task your students with some active learning and find out just how beneficial physical fitness is, anywhere and any time!
Not only is physical fitness great for little bodies (and grown-up ones!), but it also does wonderful things for little minds.
A study from the University of Illinois showed that children who are physically fit are more likely to perform better in school and achieve higher grades!
What better reason do you need to embrace the benefits of physical fitness in your classroom? Let us help you with some amazing fitness games and activities your students will love. Not only are they amazingly fun resources, but they are also designed specifically with learning in mind.
Active Learning Activities for Your Classroom
Help your students boost their physical fitness and brain power while learning! We have some amazing resources to help you and your class do just that.
Weekly Active Learning Guides
These amazing resources give your class everything they need to get active with their learning.
We think staying active in the classroom is important so we have created some active learning guides to get you through a 4 week period! Complete them at the beginning of term to get your students in an active mindset, or save them till the end of the term when your kids might be getting a little restless. Why not create your own for a whole term’s worth of fitness – they’re in editable Word format!
Each day of the week focuses on a different learning area, and the activities are sure to get your students out of their seats and learning – all at the same time!
Tick off your curriculum links and have fun while doing it:
- Mondays we are ‘Moving in Mathematics‘
- Tuesdays it is ‘Grammar on the Go’
- Wednesdays we have ‘Physical Phonics‘ Early and Middle Primary, and ‘Shuffling Through Science‘ for Upper Primary
- Thursdays we are ‘Speeding Around Spelling‘
- Fridays we are doing the ‘Sight Word Shuffle’ for Early Primary and ‘Vocabulary with Vigor’ for Middle and Upper Primary!
These Active Learning Guide Resource Packs provide you with a weekly guide, and links to resources you will need for the week.
