Swedish Drill 1

Swedish Drill 1 for Beginners – PDF Digital Download or Physical Option

Bring Swedish Drill into your home or classroom with confidence!
This open-and-go curriculum is designed so you can begin Swedish Drill on day one. Rooted in the 1909 London Syllabus of Physical Exercises for Public Elementary Schools—the very movements Charlotte Mason recommended for physical education—this program provides everything you need to establish a joyful and purposeful practice.

Why Swedish Drill?
Swedish Drill is more than exercise—it is a whole-person practice that trains both body and mind. These structured movements develop attention, self-regulation, and habits of order, making them especially supportive for neurodivergent students. The clear commands, rhythmic patterns, and purposeful sequences provide a predictable structure that strengthens:

• Executive Functioning Skills – planning, sequencing, memory, and self-control.

• Focus and Concentration – short, intentional movements reset attention and prepare students for learning.

• Coordination and Balance – bilateral and midline-crossing exercises connect the brain’s hemispheres.

• Emotional Regulation – movement offers a constructive way to release energy and refocus.

Children thrive when they know what to expect, and Swedish Drill’s steady rhythm and clarity make it an ideal activity for diverse learners in both homeschool and group settings.
