Moving to four 15-minute recreations could help improve children’s concentration during teaching time. — AFP Whether it’s moving your arms and legs to learn grammar, handling various objects or upping recreations, movement can be an excellent way of boosting children’s capacity for learning. “Grammar gym” is one such solution. Children’s access to sport and exercise may have suffered under current coronavirus restrictions, but what about using physical activity as a way of learning? This approach to teaching seems to be bearing fruit in some spheres. South of the French city of Orléans, for example, primary school teacher Delphine Guichard has been using one such method with her fourth- and fifth-graders for years. On her teaching blog, which she runs under the name “Charivari, ” the teacher explains one of her methods for teaching grammar, which she calls “grammar gym”. Basically, grammatical categories like nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs are matched to poses. For example: arms above your head for a verb, arms up plus standing on one leg for an adverb.
