Sitting for school is hard enough. Sitting at HOME for school, yikes! A little bit of movement might make things easier….
Chair Warrior
Stand behind your chair or table and hold on for balance. Now slide your right toes back and tap your toes to the ground three times. Now begin to lift your right foot up until it’s parallel to the ground. Keeping it lifted high: Can you move it to the right? And then move it back? Now return back to start and try the left foot!
Air Chair
Plant both feet firmly on the ground. Lift your bum off the chair just a bit: sit in an “air chair”. Lower your bum to tap your chair and lift. For an extra challenge, do it on tippy toes! Keep lifting and lowering until you're tired and just want to sit and listen.
Chair Twists
Sometimes you just need to wind to unwind. Start by sitting on the edge of your seat. Now twist to the right so that your right hand rests on your left knee and your left hand grips the back of the chair. Try and look over your left shoulder? What’s going on back there? Come back to the center and now try twisting to the left.
