This action research aimed to determine whether incorporating bodily movements as quick transition activities could help sustain engagement among kindergarten learners during synchronous online sessions. Conducted in a private school in Cagayan de Oro City during the 2022–2023 school year, the study involved nine pupil-participants, one teacher, and five learning supervisors selected through convenience sampling. Data collection tools included tally sheets, a teacher interview, and a focus group discussion with learning supervisors. Engagement was measured using a point-based rubric and scoring guidelines, while qualitative data were analysed through content analysis. Results showed a significant increase in pupil-participants’ engagement levels following the intervention. Interview and focus group discussion findings also indicated that the activities were enjoyable and effective in maintaining attention and participation. The study concludes that bodily movements, when used as transition activities, are an effective strategy for sustaining young learners’ engagement in online learning environments.
