Physically Active Classroom
-
Physical activity is essential for children’s health and learning. In my classroom, I would encourage movement by offering daily outdoor play, simple games, and activities that match children’s ages and abilities. I like using music, movement games, obstacle courses, and free play to keep it fun and engaging. I also make sure activities are safe, inclusive, and not too structured, so children can explore, move, and enjoy being active while building confidence and social skills.

At our daycare, Sproutlings Daycare & Preschool, we make sure to have physically active lessons throughout the day. We try to recognize when the children are feeling antsy and if they are we make sure to add in a few more active lessons throughout the day.
