Physically Active Learning with Tagtiv8
Llewellyn, Bryn
Childhood Education, v97 n5 p38-45 2021
Physically Active Learning (PAL) is an approach that seamlessly integrates movement with learning. Research has demonstrated that PAL can: (1) improve classroom behavior and activity engagement; (2) significantly reduce sedentary periods of time; and (3) offer aggregated improvement in academic performance over time. This article describes Tagtiv8, a game that exemplifies PAL. Tagtiv8 is similar to a game in which flag football meets Scrabble and math. The colorful tags (flags) are printed with letters, numbers, and math symbols and operations. They are used as building blocks for language and calculations. Children collect the tags in different ways, before working and playing with them. Education is about the best possible learning outcomes for children. PAL, used in the right way and with a clear purpose, can support schools and teachers in enhancing those outcomes.
