=2013-2-22 Fulfilling the Needs of Kinesthetic Learners: The Brain and Body Connection = I presented this presentation at Eastern District Association of AAHPERD. This presentation is designed for teachers to bring back to their schools to help advocate for the need to move more in schools. It is based on Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and designed to help meet the needs of students in both a classroom and physical education setting.

//**Grouping Card**// - this is a sample grouping card that teachers can use to form groups in a quick and orderly fashion. The paper itself can be a brain break and then be used for partners depending on size. Start off with the circle partner. Have students find a partner and each partner sign the other partner's paper. Then go to the triangle and have each group find 2 new partners. These will be the triangle group (groups of 3). Continue finding new people until all 5 shapes are filled. This give students the choice to choose their partner and also learn to work with other students.



//** Brain Break Sticks **// - Put these sticks in a cup and pull one out when you feel a class needs a break pull one out and give it a try! For best results use wide popsicle sticks, print the labels out on Avery ® Labels 5256, then place tape over top to protect the labels from peeling.

Still to come...
