AJB Active Minds Videos

What an Active Minds Lesson looks like - a series Todays focus is on the Lesson Video 📺 . A concept that came about when talking with a PSHE lead and a teacher, who had mentioned that her children loved seeing a character on screen for another topic. They were excited each week to see this character and also it was a great source of reference for the children to discuss what the character was doing ad up to. We wanted to create a mini 2-3 minute video where the children meet the character, they talk about their day and follow the days topics. We always wanted to add an extra stimulus for learning and wanted to build our lesson videos to not only add that stimulus for learning but introduce the lesson, the topics and also use the video and character to create a safe learning environment and allow for distanced learning. #activeminds #whatalessonlookslike #worksheets #resources #lessonvideo #smallgroups #interactive

What an Active Minds Lesson looks like - a series Todays focus is on the Pre Lesson Guidance Video 📺 . A concept that came about AFTER the main resources and structure of the programme had been created (in its first version). The idea came when trialling the programme and speaking with teachers, TA's and headteachers and getting feedback on both our programme but also their day to day lives of covering sessions. We wanted to create a mini 2-3 minute video where an educator could watch the video quickly before a lesson and get all the information they needed to run the lesson. For those who may feel unsure about delivering physically active games, we wanted to show case the games, create videos of setting the games up and children playing the games. Throughout the video we give simple advice on how to run the sessions, options available and thought on questions for the educators to use to create conversations with the children.

We know how tricky it can sometimes be to engage a class of children. Or how we can be left scratching our heads for a way to creatively introduce a new topic or subject to 30 pupils all with their own unique ways of learning. With Active Minds, we wanted to help take the "head scratching" away from our educators and provide them with all of the tools needed to introduce new topics and capture your pupil's attention. We aim to achieve this through a variety of learning methods and activities within each and every lesson! 🎬 Lesson videos to introduce the week's topic and stimulate ideas for conversation. 🗣 Educator guidance sheets to provide context and conversation prompts. 🤾‍♀️ Physically Active Lessons to get children learning in a different way! ⚽️ Varied activities so that each week is new and interesting. ✅ Colourful and engaging worksheets and activity cards. We aim to get children excited about Active Minds lessons and enjoying each session.
