Developing students' multiple intelligences in the classroom can be a complicated task when planning courses. In the same way, meeting the needs of all students during daily lessons is an even more significant challenge. However, through the use of different activities, the development of students' intelligences can be promoted, while meeting the objectives of the lesson.

On behalf of this, we can introduce the Theory of Multiple Intelligences as a compliment and help when planning our courses. The theory was developed by Harvard University psychologist Howard Gardner. It proposes the existence of eight types of intelligences in the human being and the capacity we all have for their development, which allows us to understand why we learn in different ways.

Next, we present the eight intelligences with their description and activities that can be integrated into the daily lessons of all subjects.

Verbal-linguistic intelligence

We can find this intelligence in students who can understand, use, and manipulate written or spoken words.
Classroom activities:
Logical-mathematical intelligence

It is distinguished in students who can use numbers correctly and understand abstract relationships.
Classroom activities:
Visual-spatial intelligence

This intelligence is usually measured along with the verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences in the IQ Test. It is defined by the ability to form a mental model of a space world and to maneuver using this model.
Classroom activities:

Musical intelligence

We can find it in those students with the ability to perceive, distinguish, transform, express sounds, and musical forms.
Classroom activities:
Body-kinesthetic intelligence

It is defined as the ability to solve problems or develop products using the body or parts of it.
Classroom activities:

Theater production

Craft use

Learning by discovery

Use of Legos

Body movement activities (dance, pantomime, role play, acting)

Activities related to physical education (play, jumping, sport, physical exercises)

Intrapersonal intelligence

It is defined by the ability to self-discipline and self-understanding. Together with interpersonal intelligence, it is called emotional intelligence.
Classroom activities:

Use of 1 minute reflection periods

Activities that integrate the independent study

Provide classroom spaces for individual study

Activities related to the theme of self-esteem

Self-taught readings

Application of learning centers

Interpersonal intelligence

It can be found in students who can understand other people: what motivates them, how they work, and how to work with them cooperatively.
Classroom activities:
Naturalist intelligence

It is the ability to appreciate, categorize, classify, explain, and connect everyday life with nature.

Different children learn differently, which is why you need classroom activities for multiple intelligences. Students who don't learn traditionally may be left behind by regular classwork. By engaging students in multiple intelligence activities that teach to each of the eight different types of intelligences, you will be able to help all of your students succeed.

Eight Multiple Intelligences

The theory of multiple intelligences posits that children have differing levels of eight different types of intelligence. Every child has at least one intelligence that is the strongest, and some believe teaching to those strengths can help students to be more successful. The eight multiple intelligences include the following:

1. Verbal/linguistic

2. Math/logical

3. Spatial

4. Musical

5. Body/motion/kinesthetic

6. Interpersonal

7. Intrapersonal

8. Naturalistic

Ideas for Classroom Activities for Multiple Intelligences

You can learn which type of intelligence a child has by testing then design classroom activities for multiple intelligences that play to each child's strength. Using multiple intelligence stations, or breaking children up into smaller groups according to their intelligence strengths, can help assure that each child is participating in activities that will help him learn.

Verbal/Linguistic Activities

Students with high verbal/linguistic intelligence are often well-spoken, and they write well. The following classroom activities favor this type of intelligence:

Storytelling and narration

Writing stories

Create a television or radio newscast

Create a newspaper

Have a debate

Play vocabulary games

Create advertising materials for a made up business

Create a classroom podcast

Math/Logical Activities

Students who have math/logical intelligence are logical thinkers who enjoy solving puzzles. Classroom activities that work well with this type of intelligence include the following:

Solving mysteries using deductive reasoning

Predicting outcomes based on circumstances

Solving number or logic puzzles

Doing financial planning for an imaginary business

Use toys and images for sequencing games where kids have to show the right order

Hide prizes, school supplies, or assignments in puzzle boxes

Write secret messages in computer code

Escape room or escape room kit such as Breakout EDU

Spatial Activities

Students with high spatial intelligence often think in pictures. They do well with art activities and spatial puzzles. Classroom activities to highlight spatial intelligence include the following:

Art activities such as painting and play dough

Working with play money

Map reading and map making

Play a Pictionary-style game

Diagram sentences

Pack specific items into a suitcase or box so they fit exactly

Keep a bullet journal

Use mind maps instead of traditional note-taking

Musical Activities

Children with high musical intelligence learn well through rhythm. They often enjoy musical activities. Classroom activities for musical intelligence include the following:

Write and recite poetry

Perform dance routines to act out historical or literary events

Create songs or raps about math concepts

Perform sound and vibration experiments in science

Read picture books to the tune of music from different genres

Make up song memory devices for different subjects

Write test or worksheet answers on the beat of a metronome

Practice spelling words with a classroom orchestra where each kid makes a different sound with their body while reciting a spelling word

Kinesthetic Activities

Kinesthetic learners love motion. They are often very physical children and sometimes gifted athletes. Activities for kinesthetic learners include the following:

Dramatic re-enactments of historical or literary events

Using different body parts to measure objects

Use charades to act out parts of speech

Learn folk dances that represent different cultures

Design and build an architectural model out of materials like Popsicle sticks or toothpicks

Use Lego bricks for math lessons such as the different sized bricks for fractions

Tell a story or practice vocabulary words with yoga poses attached to each word

Make up fingerplays to study for tests

Interpersonal Intelligence Activities

Interpersonal learners are those children who work well cooperatively and thrive on building friendships and relationships. Activities to teach interpersonal learners include the following:

Working in small groups on a project

Mentoring or teaching concepts to another student

Conducting interviews

Role-playing historical or literary situations

Team-building exercises

Cooperative or team video games

Board or card games that involve creating alliances

Mock political campaigns and elections

Intrapersonal Activities

Intrapersonal learners are those who are very aware of their own motivations. They often have a high level of self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Intrapersonal classroom activities include the following:

Keep a journal

Write an autobiography

Work independently

Write essays about which historical or literary figures they would want to be

Rewrite a story from their point of view

Share how they'd be different if they were from another culture

Multi-player role-play games such as Dungeons and Dragons where each kid is their own character

Meditation sessions for brainstorming or studying

Naturalist Activities

Naturalists are nature lovers who often have an excellent understanding of or interest in earth sciences. Activities for naturalist learners include the following:

Categorize species in the natural world

Collect items from nature

Go on nature walks

Orienteering

Math story problems featuring plants or animals

Classroom pets

Plant and maintain a community garden

Host a community nature clean-up event

Engage the Whole Child

You don't have to back the multiple intelligences theory to see the value in engaging the whole child in lessons and activities. Look for brain game activities that incorporate at least a few of the listed types of intelligence to create a fully immersive experience for your class.

Learning objectives, or learning outcomes, define the goals and expectations of a lesson. Learning objectives for individual lessons connect to the broader goals of a unit or course. Not only do learning objectives help you plan your curriculum, they also let students know what they will have learned by the end of a particular lesson.

The key to writing learning objectives is to make them SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. Your assessment will tell you whether your objective was specific and measurable enough, while the lesson context dictates the objective's attainability, relevance, and timeliness.

Examples of Good Learning Objectives

The key is writing objectives with realistic - yet challenging - expectations. Well-written objectives are basically assessment plans, making them easy for the rest of your lesson. Check out these learning examples for elementary and secondary students that are easy to measure and observe.

After a lesson on bullying, students will be able to explain the difference between a bully and a friend by writing a short paragraph that includes a thesis statement and call to action.

Students will be able to summarize the events of their day in a personal journal after a lesson on reflective writing.

After a lesson on civil disobedience, students will be able to defend the actions of a civil rights leader in a formal class debate.

These objectives are designed for the cognitive domain of Bloom's Taxonomy. There are additional skills to assess in the psychomotor and affective domains which are typically reserved for younger classes or students with special needs.

Components of Learning Objectives

A learning objective is one of the most important parts of a complete lesson plan. Most learning objectives start with a variation of SWBAT (Students Will Be Able To...), followed by clear and measurable language. A well-written objective should paint a vivid picture of what an observer would see in your classroom.

High-quality learning objectives include four elements. These objectives are the basis of the rest of your lesson plan, including the lesson context, procedures, and assessments.

1. What Students Will Be Able to Do

How will this lesson enhance a student's education? Using strong, specific verbs, you'll explain what skills your students will be able to exhibit and what level of knowledge they will attain. Note that action words like "write," "draw," or "present" are not the skills you are assessing.

Example: Students will be able to identify triangles.

2. How Students Will Demonstrate Their Learning

If someone were to walk into your classroom, how could they tell that students are learning? Use specific actions here, such as "write an introductory paragraph," that are different from the skills you are assessing.

Example: Students will be able to identify triangles by choosing paper triangles out of a selection of other 2D shapes.

3. The Context for Learning

What will your lesson provide that students can build from? In other words, you should describe the context in which students will be able to demonstrate what they have learned.

Example: After a lesson on the characteristics of triangles, students will be able to identify triangles by choosing paper triangles out of a selection of other 2D shapes.

4. The Criteria for Achieving Proficiency

How will you know that a student has met their objective? Include specific criteria that will indicate how well a student has grasped a skill or concept.

Example: After a lesson on the characteristics of triangles, students will be able to identify triangles by correctly choosing paper triangles out of a selection of other 2D shapes at least 8 out of 10 times.

Examples of Poorly Written Objectives

The biggest mistake teachers make when writing learning objectives is using generic verbs that cannot be observed or measured. Writing objectives without including a visible product is also an avoidable error. Here are some examples of incomplete or poorly written objectives that do not follow the SMART model.

By the end of the lesson, students will understand the significance of World War II.

Mistake: "Understand" is not a measurable verb. There's no way for students to demonstrate their understanding of whether World War II was significant.

Students will be able to write a full-length research paper and present their findings by the end of the class period.

Mistake: This is not an attainable goal for one class period. The teacher needs to adjust the time or their expectations.

Kindergartners will be able to recall parts of the story, write a summary of what happened, and predict what will happen next.

Mistake: This objective lists three distinct skills. Each lesson should only have one or two objectives, and one skill per objective.

Tips for Writing Learning Objectives

In writing your own learning objectives, keep some of these key pointers in mind:

Trade generic verbs for strong academic skills. If the word "understand" is in your objective, replace it.

Remember that if your students have obtained or deepened one skill by the end of your lesson, it's been successful.

Write your lesson assessment immediately after your objective, and use the same wording. Your assessment will tell you whether the expectations in your objective were met.

Find your verb in Bloom's Taxonomy. If it's not there, change your objective. If it is there, see if you can move it up one level of complexity.

"Completing a worksheet" is an assessment, not an objective. Think about what skills your students are demonstrating as they complete the worksheet.

Keep it simple. Not every objective needs to be complex; your lesson may even be better if it's straightforward for students.

Share learning objectives with your class in an "I Will Be Able To..." format. Participating in their own learning is an important skill itself!

More Lesson Plan Resources

Learning objectives for teachers seem tricky, but if they're done well, they can help you create a strong lesson plan. Check out these tips on writing lesson plans or match your assessment section to the appropriate rubric type. And remember: no matter how solid your lesson plan is, there's no substitute for quality instruction.
