This child likes to move, wiggle, manipulate objects, and use his entire body. Teachers can encourage learning by:
- Making group time varied, so there are not prolonged periods of sitting
- Providing open space in the classroom to allow for physical movement
- Using hands-on activities, such as finger painting, working a large floor puzzle, or role-playing a bible person’s actions
- Creating opportunities for simple active games
- Planning various activities that require movement, such as squatting, reaching, marching, or moving to a different area of the room
