Academotion provides new techniques and strategies whereby elementary teachers can promote active learning through integration. Elementary classroom teachers can apply the more than 100 activities in this book as additional strategies to support academic learning. All the movement activities have been field tested and used with children from pre-kindergarten to grade six.

Academotion allows movement to become an instructional strategy that reinforces concepts in a concrete way. Movement learning experiences allow children to:

 

  • Compare weight, size, shape and spatial relationships in mathematics
  • Promote learning about words, phrases, sentences and poetry in language arts
  • Explore levers, structures, magnets and solutions related to science
  • Support healthy living through nutrition and injury prevention and safety
  • Discover geography, people, places and environments connected in social studies
