That’s where Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity: Ideas for Enjoyable Active Learning comes in.
This text provides K-5 classroom teachers and physical educators with simple, creative strategies and activities that have proven successful in schools and that are suitable for all children. The ideas are practical, accessible, and backed by research that supports the benefits of physical activity in the classroom. They are also flexible—meaning the authors present guidance and options for modifying activities, so teachers can choose what works best for their students. Most activities can be carried out in small spaces or within an existing classroom setup.
Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity offers a total of 50 ready-to-use activities in four categories:
- Classroom physical activity breaks
- Physically active instruction
- Recess
- Enhanced physical education
The games and activities afford schools the opportunity to emphasize physical activity throughout the day. The activities are easy to fit into the curriculum at any and all points, including before and after school. Little or no equipment is needed; for the few activities that require equipment, suggestions are provided to make simple equipment from everyday materials. In addition, most chapters offer quick tips to help teachers overcome any challenges that might come up with the activities in that section, and many chapters come with an infographic that shows or describes the benefits of the activity for the topic being discussed.
Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity is organized into three parts:
- Part I, Classroom Physical Activity, offers ideas for integrating classroom physical activity breaks, incorporating physical activity into academic instruction, taking advantage of recess, and creating a physically active classroom.
- Part II, Physical Education, is written specifically for the physical education teacher.
