Videos, posters, and charts are some of the things that these learners like to use to learn. The student might struggle in reading and writing but when it comes to art or auto-tech, this learner can excel a lot. Using different colors and layouts to create spatial organization skills is what these students do very well in also. Visual learners also love physical education class because most of the teaching is from a visual representation rather than words from a book. There will always be a visual learner in a physical education class, if we want our lesson plan to suite their style we must do a couple things. Before every lesson and new activity, make sure you are showing the students how to directly perform the task. Visual learners can perform a task just by seeing a teacher perform it a couple times before.

Practicing doing the task before performing it is crucial for physical learners. Although some people can learn something just by performing it, others might need more assistance if they feel they aren’t doing it correctly. This is where the other learning styles come into play, although they are different, people still use multiple styles to learn a certain
