he following activity; ABC…"Energize Me” is a “high energy, fun and organized” classroom activity that gives your students a chance to move their bodies in a number of ways, while learning to recognize the Upper and Lower Case letters of the Alphabet.
ABC…Energize Me does not require any equipment and can be used as a “Brain Break” or as a functional, letter recognition lesson. It can also be utilized in the gym or outside by a classroom or PE teacher if students need to move their bodies in a larger space.
You can show the cards and do a whole group activity where all of the students perform the same movement at the same time (while you reinforce letter recognition). You could also set up “station” or “center” areas throughout the room and have your students rotate to each letter card and movement.
