Bodily kinesthetic intelligence refers to physical skill and ability to control one's body movements. A teacher should observe if a child exhibits traits like excelling in sports, fidgeting when sitting still, mimicking movements, enjoying taking things apart/putting them together, having difficulty keeping hands off objects, liking physical activities, or showing skill in activities requiring fine motor coordination or using their body to express themselves, as these could indicate the child has bodily kinesthetic intelligence.
