Description

When students have been sitting too long, energy is low, or attention is beginning to fade, pull a card from Change the Energy.

This purple Level Up Teacher Tool Deck includes purposeful movement activities that help students reset, refocus, review, and reengage with classroom content. Each strategy gets students moving for a reason while keeping the learning goal at the center of the activity.

Use this deck when:

• Students seem restless
• Energy is low
• Attention is fading
• Students have been sitting for too long
• You need an active review strategy
• The class needs a productive reset
