How can the theory of multiple intelligence be applied in the classroom when teaching young children?

Answer 1

A great way is to work with stations. Take one unit, like "Ancient Egypt" and build a station to represent each of the multiple intelligences. At the linguistic station students can read a story about Ancient Egypt. At the mathematical station they can compare Arabic numerals to the Ancient Egyptian numeral system. At the visual station they can draw a picture of an element of Egyptian culture, or even apply Egyptian-style makeup. At the kinesthetic station they can try a sport that the Egyptians played, like the "tug of hoop". In small groups students can work their way from station to station, engaging in different styles of learning. You can use these stations on their own or as supplements to other types of learning.

Answer 2

It explains them the information in a thorough way instead but the problem with multiple intelligence as a medium of instruction is that you cannot directly ask the question about it. So there should be a moderator while multiple intelligent instructions are going on so that students can interact with the moderator about questions regarding the topic. It also boost their imagination and thinking since for now we are on a high technology era.

The bottom line is, childrens wouldnt be learning a lot still if their is no moderator during the session since multiple intelligence is just a one way interaction. Well, they could discuss it with their classmates but they're of the same level. So, I suggest to have a moderator during those sessions. :)

I would use animals myself. They can survive and find or hunt food.
