Design Activities That Engage Students Physically 
Design review activities to include dynamic methods of information processing and recall. Students can benefit from working with information in a physical way in all areas of study. One activity that facilitates this involves recording chunked pieces of related information on note cards or large poster sized pieces of paper and distributing them to groups of students. The information can cover any subject area, such as dates of an historical event, steps in a mathematical or scientific process, or even parts of an essay. Each group then must work together to arrange the note cards or, if they are holding the poster sized pieces, arrange themselves in the proper order. Make a competition of it and it becomes a fast-paced, fun activity that helps students connect with information in a new way.
