The following testimonial was submitted by teacher Emily Huff as part of Classcraft’s series on promoting physical activity in the classroom.
Except for physically moving classroom to classroom, I feel like my high school students don’t often get the chance to be active and moving in class throughout the day. I love when we get a random daily event that encourages the students to do something completely different and get out of their desks. And they love that rare opportunity, too!
Random events including physical activity always give my class period a boost of energy and excitement, and that directly carries over into learning. Some of my most dynamic classes this year, where I have had engaged students asking questions and demonstrating learning, have been class periods where we also had a physical daily event. My favorite is the five-minute yoga session at the beginning of class, but the kids like physical challenges like Wall Sit, Book Balancing, or Keeping Their Feet off the Floor.
Thanks for sharing, Emily! Stay tuned for more entries in our series on promoting physical activity with Classcraft.
