All children begin as kinesthetic learners, however at some point they become more auditory, visual or remain kinesthetic. Those who are predominantly kinesthetic learners can often be labeled as special needs when in fact it they just learn differently. There are also those special needs students who have difficulty with auditory or visual processing and so kinesthetic teaching strategies become valuable in your teacher toolbox.
Kinesthetic learners have a tendency to move around a bit, and for that reason, it may be difficult to reel them in and get down to learning. Provide kinesthetic learners with the opportunity to include physical activity into their schoolwork and they will thrive. Select them to pass out papers, wipe off the board or sharpen pencils. Adding manipulatives and experiments to lessons will engage them and other students as well and gives them a hands-on learning opportunity.
For those who struggle to sit still some seated tools include: pieces of swimming noodles cut into short lengths for them to roll there feet over, squeezing stress balls, or lifting up and rocking back-and-forth in their seats provide them with movement without distracting other students. Incorporating movement into transitions from one activity to another such as stretching, will not only benefit them, but the whole class.
