Active April Wheel of Activity

The Active April Wheel is a simple, child-led activity that helps children notice their body in motion and how it feels to be active. Using the blank wheel, children can draw or write words, short phrases, or small sentences about how they moved, what they did, and how their body felt during those moments.

The focus is on gentle awareness through movement—paying attention without pressure or judgement. There are no right or wrong answers. Children are encouraged to complete the wheel at their own pace, making it a flexible and inclusive tool that supports confidence, body awareness, and wellbeing.

We offer two versions of the Active Wheel:

Active April Wheel – Designed for the month of April, this version encourages children to notice movement in everyday life such as stretching, walking, playing, slowing down, and spending time outdoors. It helps children tune into their energy levels and how their body feels during and after activity.

All-Year Active Wheel – A flexible, season-neutral version that can be used anytime to support awareness of movement, energy, and physical wellbeing throughout the year.

Both wheels are suitable for use in ELSA sessions, classrooms, small groups, or at home. Drawing is encouraged but optional, and minimal writing is required, so children of all ages and abilities can engage confidently with the activity.
