Integrating movement into classroom learning can be intimidating. Active Schools encourage and support schools across the country in creating active classroom environments. Classroom physical activity helps students feel better, work together as a team, reduce anxiety and maintain focus.

There are several ways to incorporate movement into classroom learning:
Morning wake up activities
Activity breaks, brain breaks, brain boosters and energizers
Active learning and academic instruction
Flexible seating such as sit-stand desks, pedal desks and balance boards
Remember, if a child is sitting too long, they are missing out on vital movements that could help them learn. Take these ideas and make them your own!
