Kinesthetic learning is based on body movements. This teaching method can be used in pairs or with the whole class. It can be effectively and quickly implemented in class, even for a short period of time. Physical movement gives students a break from a routine language practice as well as lecture-style passive learning, and it often increases students' concentration. In addition, students who do not actively participate in class can easily join in this activity. Kinesthetic learning also provides advantages such as enhancing cooperative relationships and communication skills with classmates. In this presentation, I would like to demonstrate how to use hand and finger movements to teach elementary level particles of Japanese and discuss its effectiveness from the theory of kinesthetic learning.
