Physical+Activity

[|CDC Guidelines]

The CDC recommends at least 1 hour of physical activity each day for children ages 6-17 years of age. However, during a school year, children rarely are allowed that much time during the day to be physically active.

If teachers could find ways to incorporate physical activity into their lessons, this would give students the availability to move and learn at the same time. A great example would be for a Math teacher to do addition problems and use students instead of fingers, or an English teacher to use students to represent different parts of speech when constructing a sentence, or a Social Studies teacher to use students to represent a battle during the Civil War. These are just a few ideas, I am certain with a little effort, many more subjects could include students being active and out of their seats.
