Boosting Kids’ Brainpower Through Physical Activity

July 11, 2025

It's not just about having fun when children run around the yard, kick a ball, jump, or engage in other physical activities, they’re actually boosting their brainpower!

BeeFams, research shows that movements involving both gross and fine motor skills can help support a child’s cognitive development, including their math skills and logical thinking.

So, how does physical activity make kids smarter?

When children move actively, blood flow to the brain improves, which helps the brain work more efficiently. This makes kids more focused, responsive, and improves their memory, all of which are crucial for daily learning.

And it doesn't stop there. Motor activities are also closely linked to a child’s interest in subjects like math. Kids who are physically active, for example, running, jumping, or crawling, tend to develop stronger problem-solving skills.

Don’t forget sensory play!

Activities like shaping numbers with clay or drawing them in the sand are also great sensory experiences that support children’s numeracy skills. Through touch and exploration, kids learn to recognize shapes and patterns in a more natural and fun way.

You can also try these simple activities to help sharpen their focus and cognitive abilities:

· Jump rope or hula hoop

· Dancing to music

· Cycling

· Counting steps while walking

· Sorting by color or number patterns

Outdoor fun is great, but it can sometimes cause skin discomfort from itching, mild irritation, dryness due to sweat, or insect bites. That’s why it’s important to always keep Better Botanics Propolis Soothing Balm at home!
