Healthy Moves (Physical Movement)

A simple idea:
Whenever asking questions that require a “yes or no” (or true/false) answer, have students stand with both arms in the air if it is yes, or stand with only their right arm in the air if it is no.



Jumping Syllables (grades 2-3):

• Teacher calls out a word

• Students jump once for every syllable in the word.

Simon Sez Math Review (questions can be developed for any grade level):
