Helping teachers execute fun and educational classroom activities has long been a staple of the content at TeachHUB.com – educators round the globe regularly find us by entering “classroom activities“ into their search engines, and they usually wind up being regular website users shortly after that!
So whenever we get the chance, we point out new classroom activities that students just love. Today is a perfect example: Frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, herself a seasoned educator based in Upstate New York, takes a look at ten classic classroom activities that will get your class moving in an educational way.
Janelle’s ideas include:
- Four Corners
- Charades
- Doggy Doggy, Where’s Your Bone?
- Freeze Dance
- And More!
Janelle sums up today’s article thusly, in a paragraph on Yoga poses: “Yoga is the best, most relaxing way for your students to get their energy out while staying Zen. It’s engaging, but at the same time helps increase students’ energy and focus. Try GoNoodles version of it, or try teaching students a few poses on your own. Many teachers swear by the benefits of it.”
