 Physical movement helps students pay attention and stay focussed. There are many different ways to include movement in a lesson. Active participation can involve movement of the whole body such as jumping, dancing or moving around the classroom area or just a part of the body as in clapping, hand motions or moving objects around. Students can also do movements along with rhythm, rhymes or music. This encourages them to pay attention. Active participation is a great way to get students involved in their own learning.
