Capitalize on the high energy that is natural to young learners!

Research suggests that movement activities are an integral part of the learning process. From role plays to relays, learning is better activated when the body gets involved. This highly readable book offers a valuable compendium of practical strategies backed by clinical and classroom research for engaging students at all levels.

Whether you′re an elementary school teacher or a high school math instructor, you′ll discover how to use movement to increase intrinsic motivation, improve attitudes, strengthen memory, and boost achievement in your classroom.
