What is the

PowerMoves Kids Program?

 

PowerMoves Kids™ was developed to give schoolteachers a program they can use in the classroom to:

 

a.     Support group focus, discipline and unity;

b.     Highlight valuable character traits;

c.      Encourage students to memorize and recite important quotes, literature and proverbs;

d.     Stimulate meaningful communication about life principles, history and literature;

e.     Maintain cohesion during transitions between subjects and activities; and

f.       Promote healthy self-esteem and an active lifestyle.

 

All while helping students burn off extra energy

 and build physical strength and flexibility!

 

The PowerMoves Kids™ Curriculum is divided into PK-G2; G3-5; and G6-8. Quotes, literature selections and class projects are based on grade level. 

 

How do you teach

PowerMoves Kids

in a few minutes, as a separate class, or…?

 

A number of ways! PowerMoves Kids™ can be presented:

 

a.     In the classroom: in short increments of 1-5 minutes for transitions, downtime, or as a quick rally when group focus is needed;

b.     As a whole class (LOTS of curriculum ideas!);

c.      As a group reward for a difficult task completed;

d.     To encourage students to move and speak in positive ways individually and together as a group;

e.     As a separate class during Physical Education; or

f.       As part of an After-School Program.

 

It’s a wonderful tool to help you maintain control of your class when you have 10 minutes of downtime or at the end of the day. Kids look forward to the physical activity of it…not realizing they’re getting the character training at the same time.”
