We know that those students with a kinesthetic learning style find it challenging to sit through lectures. We understand that they need to "get up and move to put something into memory." I’ve come across some thoughtful kinesthetic learning strategies for students by Kelly Roell of ThoughtCo. She says,

- “Standup when you’re feeling your mind start to wander. If you’re in high school or middle school, ask the teacher first before so you’re not labeled as disruptive.”

- “Bring a rubber band to class and wrap and unwrap it around your hand or pencil.”

- “When studying, bounce a tennis ball against the wall or floor when you’re answering questions.”

- “Tense and relax your muscles during long lectures.”

- “Bounce a leg up and down to release some of the energy.”

While these kinesthetic learning strategies may be great for older students, we understand that elementary-aged kids are in an entirely different ballgame.

What if I told you that there is a great way to get your elementary-aged kinesthetic learners dialed-in to learning while not disrupting other students in class? What if I told you that I have an excellent learning tool to get students physical, focused, and having fun while you teach? What if I told you that this amazing tool is easily incorporated into your lesson plans?

Conclusion

Kinesthetic learners need to move. It's a need not a want. And, I believe it's our duty, as involved parents and dedicated educators, to satisfy this need ... that is if we want to help our children succeed in school and in life.
