Abstract
In considering where children and adolescents spend the majority of their time, it is impossible not to think of a classroom. These classroom settings typically take on the form of a teacher standing at the front of the room lecturing while the students sit and listen. There is little to no movement and this is not okay. The classroom environment, being the place where students spend most of their time, is the perfect setting in which to make sure students are staying active and engaged. Research shows that movement in the classroom leads to an increase in concentration skills and general enjoyment of school. There are multiple ways in which movement can be incorporated into the classroom and we will take a look at some within this paper.
