Classroom Activity Posters: a collection of 16 exercise activities, 4 large posters and a brief, simple video demonstration of each exercise.  The posters are divided into four groups: posture, alerting, ready to work and focus/balance. All of the exercises are performed in standing. Try these activities prior to starting fine motor activities, for posture breaks, to refocus students attention and for vestibular/ proprioceptive input in the classroom.
