Movement in the classroom incorporates physical activity into lesson plans and allows students to take movement breaks. This helps wake up the body and brain. Teachers can have students stand up to answer questions or complete worksheets on the wall. They can also do exercises like running in place or pushups before assignments. Short activity breaks with dancing, yoga, or games help students. Planning indoor recess with videos or obstacle courses adds movement. Movement is important because the brain areas for movement and cognition overlap, so students need to move to learn effectively.
