Body Movement: Things to know for the IELTS Test. People who are strong in the body movement intelligence like to move, dance, wiggle, walk, and swim. They are often good at sports. They have good fine motor skills. They like to take things apart and put them back together. Sitting for to long in an IELTS lesson is not good for you, and you need to express yourself using your body.

Here are ways to work with this intelligence in your lessons:

• Bring things to class you can hold and talk about them to your classmates.

• Trace letters and words on the palm of your hand. Play games of 'Chinese whispers' drawing words on each other's backs with the last person in the line writing the word on the whiteboard.

• Use magnetic letters on your fridge at home to spell out IELTS vocabulary we learn in class., letter blocks, or letters on index cards to spell words.

• Take a walk while discussing a story or gathering ideas for a story.

• Use your whole arm (extend without bending your elbow) to write letters and words in the air.

• Change the place where you write and use different kinds of tools to write, ie., typewriter, computer, blackboard, or large pieces of paper.

• Buy the alphabet on magnetic card, take the letters and from different words from the academic word list (AWL) and put them in an envelope. keep for later or give it to another classmate who must work out the anagram on the white board.

• Take a walk and read all the words you find during the walk.

• Handle a rubber stress ball or a worry stone during a study session.

• Take a break and do a cross-lateral walk.

This intelligence also known as Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence has to do with bodily movement. People who have this intelligence usually learn better by getting up and moving around the classroom, and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance and can mime language situations. They may enjoy presentations, acting or performing, and in general they are good at building and making things. They often learn best by doing something physically, rather than reading or hearing about it. Those with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence seem to use what might be termed muscle memory - they remember things through their body such as verbal memory or images. As such, these students benefit from repeating target language as much as possible.

Careers that suit those with this intelligence include athletes, dancers, actors, surgeons, doctors, builders, and soldiers. Although these careers can be duplicated through virtual simulation they will not produce the actual physical learning that is needed in this intelligence.
