Utilizing flexible seating will not only engage my students in their learning, it will provide an opportunity to increase physical strength while being indoors. Children who sit on stability balls instead of traditional desk chairs show increased focus and ability to pay attention to their lessons. Sitting on the ball allows students some movement as they learn. The slight body adjustments required to balance on the ball are natural and non-disruptive and provide an outlet for excess energy and fidgeting. The increased focus and movement that stability balls provide can lead to higher levels of productivity and stimulate the brain, which may improve memory, too.
