What’s Included

This resource includes five interactive movement activities that are perfect for whole-group participation:

🧘 Would You Rather
Students will see two fun choices on the screen and decide which one they would rather choose. Instead of simply answering, they’ll complete a yoga pose that corresponds with their choice, making this a calm, engaging way to get students moving while learning about one another.

🏃 This or That
Students will choose between two options and complete an exercise movement to show their answer. This activity combines movement with decision-making, making it a fun way to build community while giving students an energizing brain break.

👍 Telling Thumbs
Students will see a question paired with a picture icon and respond with a thumbs up if they like it or a thumbs down if they don’t. This simple activity encourages every student to participate while helping classmates discover shared interests.

📍 Four Corners
Students will read or listen to a question with four possible answers displayed in the four corners of the slide. They will walk to the matching corner of the classroom to share their choice, providing opportunities for movement, discussion, and making connections with classmates who have similar interests.

⬆️⬇️ Stand Up or Sit Down
Students will choose between two options by either standing up or sitting down. This quick and engaging activity keeps everyone involved while helping students learn more about one another in a low-pressure, active way.
