Multi-Sensory-Multi-Discipline Activities For The Classroom

As Educators we are always looking for new ways for students to learn. I always knew I learned better through hands on activities. Most of my teachers in the 60’s did not use hands on learning. I was fortunate that I did have one. I thank that teacher for leading me in that direction. With her influence I decided to become a teacher.

I have used the following activities and games, as I taught Physical Education. When schools started worrying about accreditation. I tried to incorporate topics the classroom teacher was using. I unfortunately did not have a gymnasium. Some days I had to have my lessons in their classroom. I was encouraged to share my ideas, with other educators. I began giving in services throughout Virginia. My business was called Hands On Education.
