Engaging all the senses can enhance the learning experience.

Hands-on

Kinesthetic learners enjoy being physically involved in their learning by manipulating objects as they problem solve. A student may be encouraged to attend open labs.

Role-Play

Role-playing can provide a safe environment to practice or apply a skill.

Virtual Reality

VR allows a space to virtually engage and manipulate materials.

Seeking out Real Experiences

Field-trips, videos depicting reality, and case studies provide a more hands-on approach for the learner.

Dance/ Movements Associated with Concepts

Using creative body movements to associate with a concept or idea can support later recall of information. Movements may be more memorable to the Kinesthetic learner.
