Activity For Kinesthetic Learners

I have to get pupils to trace the flow of blood and the path that substances as they are transported by the human circulatory system. It is not easy for pupils to remember the concepts. I tried using this activity as shown below.




Our circulatory system!



I got the pupils to be the blood moving through the arteries and veins. When they were moving from the heart to the different parts of the body, they used handsigns like " O" and palm facing upwards to show that they were carrying oxygen and digested food. When they were moving through the veins, similarly, they used hand symbol " C" and palm facing down to represent carbon dioxide and waster.

Pupils enjoyed the activity and more importantly, they were able to remember the substances that are tranported in the different blood vessels through movements.
