Two Ways To Use It
Moving & Learning builds movement into the lesson you already teach. Kids spell with their feet, do math on the court, act out a story. Movement isn't the reward after the work. It's the work.
Download activities for reading, writing, math and movement breaks, then run them with your class or your own kids.

Students who struggle to stay with a worksheet can move first, then say the word, solve the problem or write the line.
Teach the lesson that's already on your plan and build toward Ontario's daily movement minutes at the same time.
Most activities use chalk, cones, simple printables, or nothing at all. Pick one that fits the space and time you have.
Turn spelling and times tables into movement games that families can adapt to the space they have.
