Using movement pairs well with hands on learning.I always had a love-hate relationship with writing lesson plans. Hands on learning is a great way to make your lesson plans fun and engaging. When you teach kindergarten, you have to find ways to reach your students. Everything You Need to Know to Launch Guided Math in Your Classroom Hands on Learning If you use guided math in your classroom, it’s really easy to incorporate movement in both your “meet with teacher” station and “hands on” or “game” station. Students stand in a circle, take turns counting (or skip counting) to a certain number and then once they get to the number, that person sits. My favorite movement game a game I use for teaching counting and skip counting. A lot of teachers use this for math facts (probably good for later in the year in kindergarten). Depending on what you’re teaching, you could use a racing style game. There are also many ways to incorporate movement into you’re math lessons. 4 Movement Activities to Teach Verbs Teaching Setting in Kindergarten Sight Word Run the Room – A Sight Word Movement Game Movement Lesson Plans Kindergarten Math This is a great way to get students writing and practicing their letters and sounds, but there’s a whole lot more you can do with this “write the room” concept. At first, this is all I did with write the room too. For those of you who are unfamiliar, a “write the room” activity is when you put something around the room (a lot of teachers do this with seasonal vocabulary) and students walk around with a clipboard, find the word and copy it down on their paper. However, my all time favorite way to get kindergarteners engaged through movement is with “write the room” style activities. There are countless ways to turn your language arts lessons into lessons with movement.

I would read the lesson and then figure out how I could spin it to still teach the lesson and standards, but how to make it more engaging. I wouldn’t just read through the lesson and study what I needed to do in order to teach it. Once I felt a little more comfortable in all I was teaching, the way I planned my lessons changed. There’s so much you have to teach, you’re getting used to the standards and curriculum and completing all the extras that come along with this profession. This is pretty common with new teachers because well you’re new! Plus, being a new teacher is overwhelming. I read through the lesson the week before and then a couple days before and then even right before the lesson to make sure I knew what I was teaching and how I was supposed to teach it.
You just have to be creative and be willing to experiment! When I first started teaching, I stuck to what the teacher book said. Movement can be added to ANY lesson plan. The best part is you can do it with whatever curriculum you’re already using! How to Implement Lesson Plans with Movement I’ve found that incorporating movement into kindergarten lesson plans is the easiest way to keep your kiddos attention. Which is why if you’re a kindergarten teacher, you better be switching it up all the time in order for learning to stick. For a 5 or 6 year old, this is very hard.
During much of the school day, they’re told to sit in their rug squares, sit at their tables or do something quietly so they don’t disturb their classmates. If you teach kindergarten, you know how hard it is to keep your student’s little attention spans engaged.
