Don’t teach the state standards — Slam Dunk Them! Brain research
shows that students grasp concepts more readily and thoroughly when structured
movement is part of the lesson. But body - based learning activities can be
intimidating for classroom teachers. How do we get kids moving and learning
in joyous and inclusive movement exercises without losing control or focus?
Let Carol Glynn show you how!
Kinesthetic learning expert Carol Glynn’s new resource videos, CAROL OUT
OF THE BOX, offer practical and fun classroom-tested strategies for teaching
core curricula using movement-based instruction. Taped during real elementary
classroom lessons, this set of four videos brings Carol right into your classroom
getting your students moving through the curriculum in effective and manageable
structured movement activities. Carol’s demonstration lessons can be used
for both primary instruction and supplementary activities. Either way, her creative
methods add pizzazz and depth to any content area!
Included with the videos is Carol’s popular book, LEARNING ON THEIR Feet: A Sourcebook for Kinesthetic Learning Across the Curriculum, K-8 (300 pgs). This teacher-friendly guide is the first comprehensive resource on teaching body -based learning in four curriculum areas: Social Studies, Science, Math and Language Arts. Correlated with the video lessons, this dynamic sourcebook gives teachers K-8 a slew of practical, movement-based instructional techniques to lead students out of their seats and get them learning on their feet!
TAPE 1: INGREDIENT GAMES
Ingredient games are lesson frameworks disguised as games that can be adapted
to any subject area. Fun to play in their own right, these dramatic movement
games will attract and keep the attention of the whole class, encouraging them
to work as a team, while offering a challenge for all learners. Once the games
themselves are mastered, students will be begging to play them again in a variety
of subjects.
TAPE 2: MORE INGREDIENT GAMES AND WARM-UPS
Tape two offers some of Carol’s all-time favorite ingredient games, including
Swoosh! And Fashion Show! Warm-Ups and Cool-Downs help students transition between
exercises, kinesthetic and otherwise. Warm-Ups help to bring students into the
room from wherever their thoughts have taken them. The slower paced, thoughtful
Cool-Downs offer the bridge to follow up seated activities.
TAPE 3: Math and science on your feet
Who says math isn’t dramatic, or that science needs to be a sedentary
subject? The drills required in math, and the organized structures of scientific
and mathematical concepts, make them perfect subjects for Carol’s Out
of he Box strategies. In Tape Three, Carol offers specific activities for all
age groups to help teach the required math and science curriculum. From habitats
to trees and hearts, simple patterns to prime numbers, Carol Glynn shows you
and your students how to learn by becoming the curriculum.
TAPE 4: Social Studies and Language Arts
Students don’t need to sit in a chair to learn. In fact, student will
often grasp concepts more easily if they can learn the curriculum using their
whole body. Lessons in Carol’s fourth tape offer you ideas to put Social
Studies and Language Arts on their feet, from memorized list learning to political
and literary concepts. Act out stories, settings and characters, legends and
historical moments in a creative, productive way. Students learn easily and
remember longer any lesson they’ve learned using their entire body and
all of their multiple intelligences.
“Thank you again for an extraordinary experience! There was not one game, activity or exercise you taught us that I cannot take back and immediately use in my classroom!”
