Teaching Methods

Right now I am doing my observing in a kindergarten classroom. The students are very active and love to be moving. When I teach my lessons to the students I rarely have them sit at their seats. I get them involved and let them move around so that do not get to bored. The last lesson that I taught was a math lesson on shapes. I actually had the students lay on the floor and make shapes with their bodies. This worked out really well because they got to move around and have fun while they learned. I feel that since the students feel more comfortable moving that they will learn more if they get to move around. I would like some other methods of teaching kindergarten kids. So if anyone has any great methods for teaching kindergarten kids please post and let me know.
