Hyperactivity associated with lack of concentration poses a problem to teachers. This behavioral disorder, which affects school achievement, behavior and social relationships, requires specific educational approach. One of the possibilities of correcting such a disorder is through movement and physical activity, which is important not only for somatic development, but also for social development of children. At present, this issue is being discussed among experts in the field. The research was conducted in the school year 2012/2013. The sample consisted of 46 primary school teachers who taught at the first degree of elementary school. The teachers evaluated 123 integrated pupils aged 6 to 10. To assess behavioral disorders, we used Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Teacher Rating Scale (VADTRS), a diagnostic tool used by teachers to identify children with ADHD. Arousing interest in physical activities, increasing their effectiveness and making these activities more esthetic had positive effect on children as shown by their interest in physical activities. The teachers confirmed improvement in relationships with peers (89.13%), following directions/rules (93.48%) and disrupting classes (86.96%). This study was supported by project VEGA 1/0769/13 “The Effectiveness of Specific Movement Reeducation Procedures on the Correction of Hyperkinetic Disorders of Prepubertal Children”.
