Dance Tag

You will need: a beanbag, speaker, music (suggested Shrek soundtrack)

Choose 3 or 4 taggers, give them a beanbag and play the music attached.
Taggers try to catch all of the students. If a student is caught, they must stop and create a simple dance move on the spot.
To be freed, a friend must stand in front of them and copy their dance move for 3 seconds before they rejoin the game.
If caught again they must create a different dance move to be released.

Musical Hoops

You will need: hoops, music/speaker

Students imagine they are a shopper and the hula hoops are shopping trolleys.
If you have 20 students, for example, place 18 in a circle and one in the middle.
Choose one volunteer to begin in the middle hoop. When the music starts students skip clockwise around the circle.
When the music stops, students must jump into a hoop (shopping trolley) as quickly as possible. The student who does not have a hoop switches with the student in the centre hoop and students begin skipping around the circle of hoops once more.
Repeat a number of times.

You will need: a speaker, cool down song

Inform the students that before they go, we are going to cool down our bodies so they are ready and relaxed for their next lesson.
Play the attached cooldown song which moves through stretching and movement actions.
