Why does movement help kids learn better?
Kids learn better with movement because it becomes a full-body experience. They can focus better when they are engaged in the activity VS sitting inactively listening to a teaching. Movement increases blood flow and oxygen levels which in turn increases cognitive development.
Remember the days of sitting on your school bench for hours? Remember how you got the itch to move, to wiggle, to talk? I remember quite vividly and it didn’t take me much to start daydreaming, missing half the lesson!
Turns out I was normal and so are many many kids. It’s a natural thing to want to move, talk, and touch the world around us. That’s how we learn best.
