One way to adapt your classroom for a child with a high activity level is to come to class prepared with multiple activities. For example with toddlers, it says a suggested time for activities but also notes on all of them to stop when the kids lose interest. So if you come with multiple different type of activities, you'll have something to move on to next.

Or You can also limit visual clutter on walls so it can help reduce distractions .. Offering alternative seating arrangements is a great way to support children with disabilities. Depending on the needs of the individual child, you can have them sit near you or a peer buddy, in a quiet area of the classroom, or provide an alternative seating option that will help them focus in class. Rearranging the layout of the classroom, especially in regards to classroom furniture, can also help.

A way in which I can adopt my classroom for a child with an High activity level would be to create high level activities. I could do this by doing Circle time standing up with kinesthetic activities or even getting outside more often. Obstacle courses are another good way to help children that have high levels of energy and activity.

High levels of activity can cause problems for some children. If they get bored, they will find other outlets. Biting, hitting, yelling, crying, anything to get attention. Dancing, singing, outside time, games in the classroom like simon says, and any other activity that keeps the child's mind and body engaged are a few things I do to help children with high activity levels.

In my classroom. I allow children with a high activity level to be my helper. Meaning, when he/she is done with their lesson/activity he or she can then assist the teacher with making preparations for the next classroom event. From my past experience, some children that have a high activity level are very smart and can easily become board with subject matters. I also encourage children with high activity levels to help their peers who are slow learners with their activities, For example, helping a friend put a puzzle together.

Children with a high activity level need to be able to run and play. They also need to be provided activities throughout the day that will challenge them on multiple different levels while remaining simple enough to understand. As a teacher, our classroom has an open centers setup. There are scheduled times for crafts, science experiments, and other learning activities but for the most part, ALL centers are open and available to my children at ALL times during the day. I can make sure that I have many simple but challenging activities ready for the child that can be done if the child finishes quickly, looses interest, or needs a redirect. Another thing I feel is helpful is to give them a job. Children love to feel wanted and needed. They love to feel important and by giving them something extra to do can help in so many ways.
