It's important for the children to be moving around and be active don't get me wrong, but i think learning through the physical has much more of a positive effect on children rather than just being active. Learning through the physical helps the children develop there social and emotional selves. Learning through the physical benefits the whole child. Learning through the physical can help promote fitness, self-esteem and self-confidence for all children.
