After completing the various activities in this lesson, students will be able to understand the importance for a healthy body to be able to do an activity for 1 - 5 minutes.
In this lesson students will rotate through a variety of "Olympic" activities and record their results.
In this lesson students will explore many challenges using beanbags. Locomotor as well as manipulatives and non-manipulatives are involved. Students will enhance their knowledge of physical fitness skills as well as related terminology.
The following are a variety of activities you can do with your class to help them enjoy physical activity.
Students will use a combination of writing and using their bodies to represent numbers at different place values from 1000 down to 1/1000. They will multiply and divide by powers of 10, adding and removing zeros as appropriate.
Lights, camera, action, and a bit of mystery! In this lesson, students use mystery props in a skit bag to create and perform in short, impromptu skits.
Students will engage in visual and written activities that will support their creative process of choreographing a solo dance composition. The lesson includes motifs and the movement components -- body, effort, shape, and space (BESS elements from Laban Movement Analysis).
This lesson provides simple activities for younger children to explore balance. Students will demonstrate spatial awareness and the ability to follow instructions. They will experience different movement forms.
Students will explore the concepts of place value, moving their bodies in a variety of ways to represent the tens and ones places. They will express place value with unifix cubes and drawings as they compose and decompose two-digit numbers
Students will explore the concepts of place value using their bodies as tools. They will time themselves performing various kinesthetic tasks like jumping jacks and sit ups and use the numbers that they record from these activities in their exploration. Working in groups, they will practice adding and subtracting and comparing numbers. They will also come up with creative ways to represent numbers using the properties of operation and the rules of place value.

This lesson includes various activities using the hula hoop.
Students will use ratios to demonstrate the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. Students will solve problems using a cooperative, kinesthetic activity in which they will create a ratio table, then graph proportional relationships with their bodies to demonstrate that the ratio (or rate) is the slope that will always pass through the origin.
A classroom icebreaker with Lego, to introduce students to each other and to the instructor. A playful way to start to get to know your students and seed a constructive classroom culture.
Skipping is a big part of a young studentŐs readiness to move on to other activities, such as reading. This activity will give students opportunities to develop their skipping skills.
In this lesson students perform a line dance to reinforce story telling through movement.
In this lesson students must listen and follow directions. They will perform locomotor movements based upon those directions.
Teachers need an easy, one stop shop, to find lessons to make learning fun Lessons found within Move Learning are aligned with the Common Core State Standards for K-8, and have been developed by experience teachers and kinesthetic experts. Each lesson is accompanied by a short video demonstrating the activity, so you can see and feel how the lesson might work in your classroom. Finally, the series of lessons is packaged into an easy to use K-8 kit, allowing teachers to scaffold student learning.
In this lesson students integrate math with an upper body movement exercise.
Students will explore the concept of two-digit numbers by moving their bodies to represent either the tens or ones place. They will use their bodies to compare 2 two-digit numbers, using the symbols <,=,> to compare different values.
