Traffic Lights

You will need: 3 cones - red, yellow, green

• Ask students to imagine they are driving the vet ambulance to an injured animal.
• The teacher pretends to direct traffic and calls out different speeds for the ambulance to travel at using red, yellow and green cones.
• If "red" is called then everyone must stand very still and silent. If "yellow" is called then everyone moves around in slow motion. If "green" is called then everyone moves around quite fast.

Partner Throw & Catch

You will need: balls

• Pair students up with a ball and ask them to stand 5 steps apart.
• Challenge students using I wonder questions. Perform one challenge at a time supporting each pair.
• I wonder can you and your partner:

1. bounce the ball back and forth, low down and high up
2. underarm throw the ball and catch it before it touches the ground
3. Perform ten catches without dropping the ball.
4. Perform as many catches as you can within thirty seconds.

Jack in the Box

You will need: no equipment

• Ask students to find their own space in the playing area. Teach them the jack in the box rhyme following the actions.
• Repeat the rhyme a number of times getting slower and slower each time allowing students bodies to cooldown.

Can we say aloud together a rhyme I know and complete actions with it:

“Jack in the box jumps up

Jack in the box squats down

Jack in the box goes stamp, stamp, stamp

As he turns around”.
