⭐ Teachers like you love this resource ⭐

I used these visuals in a movement activity as a silent cue for how students should move after completing a task. The visuals were clear and the kids were super engaged in the activity. We all loved the bear walk / crab walk cards. Thank you for this resource.

Have used these to create small activity cards for students to use individually for a body break when they lose focus and for whole class brain breaks.

I placed these cards around the school hallways to give different gross motor activities for my student to do when we had movement breaks during learning. He loved them all and it was also fun watching other students in the school utilize them as they were walking somewhere.
