[1]

Bodily / Kinesthetic:

Any activities involving movement encourage this intelligence. Walking, running, playing sport, moving around the classroom, physical tasks, moving objects etc

[2]

Interpersonal:

Teamwork, collaboration, group discussion, working in pairs, exchanging ideas or opinions.

[3]

Intrapersonal:

Anything which encourages self-awareness, self-reflection, being in touch with inner self. The opportunity to work creatively on one's own without the influence of others.

[4]

Logical / Mathematical:

This could be the logical order of physical object, but more often than not in schools, this intelligence relates to the abstract mathematical and logical tasks we set. Anything that involves maths, logic, designs, making sense of things and especially finding patterns encourages this learning style.

[5]

Musical / Rhythmic:

This can be a difficult intelligence to cater for unless you teach music, drama or dance, however modern IT facilities are making this intelligence easier to accommodate.

The intelligence is not confined to music and rhythm alone, it involves all of the vibrations which are around us.

Think how music can move you and change your mood and you will see the benefit of using it in your lessons. Think about how a good chant is easy to remember.

[6]

Verbal / Linguistic:

You will have little problem encouraging this intelligence as it is the main focus of most western schools. Any writing, talking, use of language (English or other) will encourage this. Even reading is considered a part of this intelligence.

[7]

Visual / Spatial:

This involves what we see. Not only in the physical world around us but also in our imaginations. We think a lot in pictures. The spatial side of this intelligence involves our relationship to objects within our environment and how we are able to navigate it. The visual/spatial learner likes mind maps, visual organisers, use of colour, graphs, video recording, powerpoint
