This approach has proven to work

Research supports the idea that active learning, which involves movement, role-playing, and interactive exercises, can greatly improve learners' engagement and retention. As reported in PubMed Central, it shows that physical activity while learning helps improve focus and memory. When learners are physically involved in the lesson, they are more likely to retain the information.

This teacher's approach also comes from other educational principles, such as Montessori and Reggio Emilia, which emphasise learning through energy and movement. This can make learning fun while creating a deeper connection to the material.
