This is a great set of 30 Free, Printable Indoor Movement Activity Cards. The cards direct kids to make easy and fun movements that are great for burning energy.
Drawing one card at a time, kids can waddle like a duck, fly like an airplane, sprout like a seed, stomp like an elephant, and more. Kids can use their creativity to imagine how to move like the image on the cards. Additionally, they’ll have an opportunity to reap the benefits of moving their bodies.
There is evidence that students “move more to learn more,” as movement increases circulation and oxygen to the brain, gives the brain a break to process material, and can increase energy.

Movement Activity Cards
There are 30 Free, Printable Movement Activity Cards in this set. The cards refer to a wide variety of themes, with animals, plants, vehicles, and people. I chose to include a variety of themes to focus on the movements that I thought kids (and adults!) would enjoy doing.
To use these cards to inspire movement, kids can take turns drawing one card at a time. All the kids participating can act out the movement for 15-30 seconds before moving on to the next card. Alternatively, an adult can simply show one card at a time to a group of kids.
It is not necessary to go through all of the movement cards at one time. Having many cards to choose from will allow for variety each time you play.
