Tips for Teachers!

Keeping kids active throughout the day can help them learn better, focus more and stay on task. Even small bursts of activity can be beneficial for you and your students. 

We know that other than physical education classes and recess it can be a struggle to add activitiy into your students' days. That's why we've curated a list of awesome resources to help you find some great ideas that are organized by grade level and related to your curriculum.

Here is one example of 10 minute energizer from Apple Schools:

Millimeter, Centimeter, and Meter, Oh My! (Gr. 2-6)

1. Have students line up around the perimeter of the room or stand at their desks. 
2. Have students start with feet side by side and move one set of toes ahead of the other set of toes to represent millimeter or “small”. 
3. Have students place one foot in front of the other to represent centimeters or “medium”. 
4. Have students take one large step forward to represent meter or “large”. 
5. Call out different measurements: Example – Move forward 2 centimeters, then 5 millimeters, then 1 yard. 
6. Have all students move in the same direction. Variations: 1. Add directions (right, left, forward, back). 

Example: Move back 3 meters and right 2 centimeters.

Did you know...

• Grade 5 and 6 students who are often or always allowed to go out and explore unsupervised get 20 per cent more heartpumping activity than those who are always supervised.
• Risky outdoor play is not about courting danger – it’s about play that is thrilling and exciting, such as climbing high, exploring the woods and rough-housing, where kids independently test their abilities and limits.
